The site is outdoors and is located at
The Highlands Masonic Lodge
3550 Federal Blvd, Denver, CO 80211
Show Hours: 10 am to 5 pm each day.
We are working hard to promote the festival through paid advertising, email marketing, social media, posters, postcards, local outreach, and more.
Your help matters too.
When artists share the show with their collectors, clients, friends, family, and social media followers, it gives people a personal reason to attend. Patrons are more likely to come when they know an artist they follow will be exhibiting.
To make this easy, we have created a Google Drive folder with promotional materials you are welcome to download and use, including flyers, posters, festival logo files, social media graphics, a sample show write-up, and photos from last year’s show, when available.
Please use these materials in your email newsletter, on your website, on social media, in event calendars, neighborhood groups, and anywhere else you promote your upcoming shows. Even one or two simple posts from each artist can help build attendance and create a stronger weekend for everyone.

Tax Docs from the State Of Colorado are HERE!
Colorado imposes sales tax on retail sales of tangible personal property. In general, the tax does not apply to sales of services, except for those services specifically taxed by law. However, in the case of a mixed transaction that involves a bundled sale of both tangible personal property and service (whether or not such service is specifically taxed), the entire purchase price may be taxable unless certain conditions exist.

In general, any retailer making sales in Colorado is required to collect the applicable state and state-administered local sales taxes. The requirement to collect tax applies regardless of whether the sale is made at a retailer’s location in Colorado or delivered to the customer at a location in Colorado. A retailer may be required to collect tax even if it has no physical presence in Colorado.
Any retailer that is required to collect Colorado sales tax must obtain and maintain a Colorado sales tax license. They must also file returns and remit collected taxes at regular intervals, generally on a monthly basis. Retailers must maintain all records necessary to determine the correct amount of tax and provide these records to the Department upon request.
This publication is designed to provide retailers with general guidance regarding sales tax licensing, collection, filing, remittance, and recordkeeping requirements prescribed by law.

The Denver Revised Municipal Code (DRMC) imposes a 5.15% sales tax on the purchase price paid or charged on retail sales including retail sales made online to Denver customers, leases, or rentals of taxable tangible personal property, products, and on certain services.
The most convenient option to register for your tax license is online at Denver's EBiz Tax Center. You can manage taxes for most accounts there.
Denver is a Home Rule city. As such, it has elected to administer and collect its own local sales and use tax. You must pay your Denver Sales Tax directly to the city.
