Denver Botanic Gardens: An Oasis In The Mountains

March 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment

With urban encroachment packing more and more people into smaller and smaller spaces, the mere presence of botanic gardens can provide a much-needed relief to harried city dwellers. Denver, Colorado, has a world-class example in the Denver Botanic Gardens. In 1951, a group of individuals realized the need to set aside a tract in rapidly developing Denver to establish a place of peace in the city. A former cemetery was chosen to become one of the country’s largest and most respected botanical gardens. Unlike many gardens, the Denver Botanic Gardens was established as an environmentally conscious organization that also prioritizes native and sustainable plants. The Gardens also work to advance environmental causes, having recently opened Denver’s first fully green roof, as well as the Omni-Globe, an amazing spherical mimic of the Earth as seen from space, which is amazing to see. Film fans might recognize the Gardens from the Woody Allen classic Sleeper.

Denver Center for the Performing Arts: Cultural Cool

February 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment

It’s amazing what one man with a vision can do for a city’s artistic life. Lawyer Donald Seawell found himself in downtown Denver looking at the abandoned Auditorium Theatre, lamenting the lack of top-quality facilities for the performing arts in the Mile High City. A four-block complex of theaters, workshop spaces and studios, the Denver Center for the Performing Arts has become the locus of the city’s arts scene. The Boettcher Concert Hall was the first symphony hall built “in the round” in the United States, and a recent renovation made the sometimes spotty sound clear and vivid. The Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre is used for touring Broadway productions and stage spectaculars, which nearly always play to packed houses. A number of arts groups make their home at the Center, most notably the Denver Center Theater Company, which started in 1979 and has grown to one of the most impressive regional theater groups in the country.

Denver Film Center: The Biggest Screen

January 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment

If you’ve got a cinephile’s heart and love to take in a wide variety of movies from all over the world, the Denver Film Center is one of the best theaters in the state. The Denver Film Society had labored in a non-dedicated theater to present the kind of programming they thought the area would appreciate, and in 2010 their patience was rewarded with the opening of the Denver Film Center on Colfax. The calendar changes weekly and the Center presents over six hundred films every year, ranging from new American movies to foreign features that you won’t catch anywhere else in the city. The Film Society also uses the Center as a home base for the myriad festivals it hosts yearly. For instance, the Starz Denver Film Festival. The festival list also includes a yearly exhibition of feminist filmmaking and “Film On The Rocks,” showing Hollywood blockbusters at the spectacular Red Rocks amphitheater.
