Festival Extends Beyond Denver, Three-Day Event

For the 18th straight summer, Denver residents are looking forward to the sights, sounds, and savory food of the Cherry Creek Arts Festival.

Although the three-day event is a traditional Colorado summer activity, Tara Brickell, the CCAF’s Associate Director, describes other activities of the non-profit organization all twelve months of the year, far outside the city limits.

Brickell makes sure all visual artists attending the festival - 230 this year - feel at home during the weekend, even if they’ve come from faraway countries. Through the CCAF Education and Outreach program, she also brings the spirit of the festival to area residents long after the annual event has taken place.
