artBURSTS: Women’s Bean Project Grand Opening
August 26, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm MDT
artBURSTS is our newest endeavor under the banner of our “Curating Art for Impact” series! With the help of community partners, artBURSTS features pop-up performances. We do so with the passion and intention of uplifting and paying local artists and giving the audiences an opportunity to experience the burst of joy that comes with art.
For our upcoming installment of artBURSTS, we are partnering with Women’s Bean Project to celebrate the grand opening of their new building at 1300 W Alameda Ave. We will be cheering on the Women’s Bean Project through an afternoon of entertainment by DJ CYN from 11am-3pm with special pop-up performances by musicians starting at 12:30PM throughout the rest of the afternoon.
