Yes! You heard that right — our Art Crawl’s are back for another year! Join us on the First Friday of the month (on March 6th from 6pm-9pm) to party down with 40 West Arts New Orleans style!

2019 was a great year for 40 West Arts District. Between multiple new galleries opening their doors and winning Westword Magazine’s ‘Best Arts District’, there’s a lot to celebrate. But in addition to all of the ‘big’ happenings, we’re also delighted by those tiny, funny, silly, smile-inducing little moments. Look below for 12 lighthearted things that happened in 2019.

40 West Arts District would like to extend its sincerest thank you to all who have supported our growing art district in 2019 and truly since it’s founding in 2011 — whether as a volunteer, sponsor, or patron of the arts, it is thanks to you that our momentum grows.

Two iconic Lakewood West Colfax businesses – Colorado Mills and 40 West Arts partnered together in early 2019 to bring art to Colorado Mills with sculptures, a gallery hallway a mural installation to enjoy while you shop.

The City of Lakewood and the Heritage, Culture & the Arts Division are pleased to announce the selection of the artwork for a new public art project in celebration of Lakewood’s 50th Anniversary: “Echoes and Reflections: Lakewood’s 50th Anniversary,” by Collin Parson.

First Friday of the month is happening in 40 West Arts next week (on March 1st!), and 40 West Arts is throwing a street party New Orleans style!
