Denver Arts Week 2026: Joe Palec FREE Art Drops and New Mural Unveiling

About this event

Welcome to Denver Arts Week 2026 | Golden Triangle Creative District | Joe Palec Version!

FREE ART DROPS & FREE ART EXPERIENCES

Joe Palec is the artist for the GTCD x THE STILL inaugural poster for 2025/26 and in celebration of Denver Arts Week, we decided to do a Joe Palec Tour featuring our GTCD Public Art Map .

Joe brings the Golden Triangle to life in his signature storytelling style — a wildly detailed, black-and-white illustration packed with movement, humor, and hidden gems. From bikers and musicians to iconic Denver landmarks, Joe’s art captures the energy and layered personality of our creative community — where art spills into the streets and inspiration meets everyday life.

FREE ART EXPERIENCE 1: Free GTCD Public Art Map

This event is brought to you by the Golden Triangle Creative Art District Public Art Map ! All of the places you'll visit looking at and for art are pins on the map. As you hit these spots, meander through the Triangle and see more than 80 pins of FREE Public Art!
