Join us for Food, Drink, Art and Conversation at the 2024 C4C Arts Weekend that will be hosted by Windows to the Divine, a Colorado-based nonprofit foundation that promotes human flourishing through community educational programs and outreach events. In collaboration with Gallery 1261 and Abend Gallery, the annual C4C Arts Weekend will be held this year in Denver from Nov 15-16 at Gallery 1261.

One of the highlights of the weekend is the launch of our Flourishing Through the Arts Project that will promote a rebirth of the arts based on research confirming the health benefits of the visual and performing arts. This special gathering of the arts community (Denver Art Museum, Colorado Ballet, Art Students League of Denver, Gallery 1261 and Windows to the Divine) will include a Salon from 2-4pm and Reception from 4-8pm that are both free and open to the public by reservation (space is limited).

At the Salon, guests will learn about recent research confirming the health benefits of the arts. Our partners, Denver Art Museum, Colorado Ballet, and the Arts Students League of Denver will share their innovative programs open to the public that promote human flourishing (well-being).
