The vibe is always right at Color Me Mine, a place where you can unwind and get creative on whatever piece draws you in.

It’s one of those Boulder spots that makes creativity feel easy and low-pressure, whether you’re there with friends, family, or just spending an afternoon on your own.

Join Black Futures in Art this Saturday for an evening of film, conversation, and contemporary Black artistry.

As part of the ongoing exhibition, Black Futures in Art presents a screening of Whispers of the Soul: The Legacy of Dr. Thomas E. Lockhart, followed by a book presentation and artist talk from 5–8 PM at the Collective Community Arts Center!

Curated by Adderly Grant-Lord, the exhibition brings together contemporary Black artists across mediums to explore legacy, memory, community, and the futures they are actively creating while emphasizing that erasure cannot silence what is carried through lived experience, imagination, and ancestral knowledge.

Huge thanks to Food Lab for being a Business Champion for Boulder Arts Week!

Even though Arts Week has wrapped, we’re still celebrating the incredible partners who helped make it happen—and Food Lab is such a fun and unique part of Boulder’s creative community.

They bring people together through cooking, whether it’s a date night, team event, or kids class. It’s hands-on, a little messy, and a really good reminder that creativity doesn’t just live in galleries but on our plates too!

Spaces like this make Boulder feel connected, collaborative, and full of life.

We’re thrilled to announce the winner of the Boulder Buzz People's Choice Award for Boulder Arts Week is...

🏆 Boulder Metalsmithing Association 🏆

BOMA's open studio during NoBo's April First Friday captured the hearts of voters across the city — a wonderful celebration of craft, community, and creative connection. We couldn't be more proud to honor them with this award.

By inviting the community into their studio, they gave people the chance to experience metalsmithing up close—ask questions, see the process, and connect with the artists behind the work.

What they’ve built goes beyond classes and studio time. It’s a space where people at all levels can learn, experiment, and feel part of something—whether they’re just starting out or continuing to grow their craft.

This year’s response from the community was incredible!! Voting increased by over 550% compared to last year. This was a People’s Choice win in every sense, and a reflection of the connection BoMA has created here in Boulder.

👏 Congratulations again to Boulder Metalsmithing Association

We’re proud to celebrate the work you do and the community you help shape.

Huge thanks to Street Wise Arts for being a Business Champion for Boulder Arts Week 2026

They’re the kind of organization that brings art out of galleries and into everyday life — through murals, festivals, tours, and community programs that people can actually be part of.

Everything they do centers artists while making space for more voices, more stories, and more connection in our community.

So grateful to have them as part of the Boulder arts scene!

Huge thanks to the Boulder Museum Of Contemporary Art for being a Business Champion for Boulder Arts Week! 🎨

BMoCA has been such a huge part of Boulder’s art scene for decades—not just showing contemporary art, but creating space for it to actually mean something. Their exhibitions and programs bring in artists from all over and give people a chance to experience work that sparks conversation, challenges ideas, and connects the community.

Places like this is why Boulder’s art community remains alive.
