ARTSWEEK GOLDEN is a week-long celebration of the arts orchestrated by Foothills Art Center in partnership with arts-oriented organizations in beautiful Golden, Colorado. Foothills Art Center traces its roots to 1968 when a group of artists formed to renovate the historic First Presbyterian Church into a thriving regional arts center. In 2018 Foothills Art Center will celebrate its 50th Anniversary while continuing to serve artists, house creative exhibits and offer educational programming and classes for learners of all ages.
 
The City of Golden is located just 15 miles west of Denver, but is separated from the rest of the metro area by two stunning mesas and is nestled at the base of the Rocky Mountains. Many major highways give drivers easy access to both the city and the mountains, including I-70, C470, U.S. Highway 6 and Highways 58 and 93.
 
Marketing Plan: 
 
Although ARTSWEEK GOLDEN is new, the team behind it is not. Members of the committee include individuals who have been heavily involved in the Golden arts scene for more than two decades along with the staff of Foothills Art Center. With a PR team that includes the former communications director and PR manager for Visit Denver, ARTSWEEK GOLDEN will heavily pursue marketing opportunities throughout the Denver Metro region including TV interviews, blogs, events calendars and more. We're open to pursuing new and creative ideas and add-on events that will help ARTSWEEK GOLDEN be attractive to a broad audience, from millennials to boomers. We are committed to working closely with all of our program partners and participating artists to ensure the event is a success - and great fun - for the artists, the volunteers and the people who come to enjoy it.
