If your bike needs a tune-up, visit Mobile Bike Man in Denver’s Santa Fe Art District. Because we are known for being mobile, people sometimes don’t realize that we have an actual brick and mortar location in one of the most intriguing neighborhoods in Denver. It’s truly a great place to check out if you have an opportunity (like when you need a new bike or one repaired).
The Santa Fe Art District is considered the “Gateway to Denver” and contains the highest concentration of art galleries in all of Colorado. This area went through a period of revitalization that has proved to be highly successful.
Come for the Art
First Fridays are a fabulous time to experience the Art District on Santa Fe. Over 5,000 art enthusiasts make their way to the district to experience a lovely evening of art, food, and fun. The evening, which runs from 6:00 to 9:30 p.m., also features, culture, the very best local food trucks, and more, but mostly it’s about the art.
Take in the SPARK Gallery, which is Denver’s original art co-op, featuring mixed-media and explorative pieces or the Access Gallery which offers work from disabled artists. Fine art photography can be viewed at The Fastidious Fotog and VERTIGO displays large-scale pieces. The Art District on Santa Fe has over 60 galleries—there really is something for everyone.
