Santa Fe Arts District
Denver’s Art District on Santa Fe (ADSF) is a nationally known arts and cultural district, encompassing hundreds of artists, galleries, studios, theaters, and creative businesses along Santa Fe Drive in Denver, Colorado. Founded in 2003, ADSF is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit membership organization and one of the first Certified Creative Districts in the state.
​
Historically anchored by pioneering spirit, ADSF has long-championed citizen creativity as a cultural crossroads of the city. Thousands visit from the Rocky Mountain region and beyond during the monthly First Friday Art Walks to experience the highest density of art galleries in the country.
​
While the name is rooted in the arts, ADSF is not only a creative community. The District reflects the neighborhood’s rich, cultural fabric—a symbol of the storied past and bright future. Steeped in Latino heritage and today representing a diverse population, ADSF aims to honor heritage and support creativity. For all. ​
