Denver Arts & Venues

Denver Arts & Venues (DAV) is the City and County of Denver agency responsible for operating some of the region’s most renowned facilities, including Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Denver Performing Arts Complex, Colorado Convention Center, Denver Coliseum, McNichols Civic Center Building and Theatre at Loretto Heights. We also oversee the Denver Public Art Program, funding opportunities like Urban Arts Fund, P.S. You Are Here and Five Points Jazz, implementation of Denver’s Cultural Plan and other cultural events such as Sunset Cinema. 

Funds generated by the agency are put back into the community through grants for artists and arts organizations, free and low-cost cultural events, art in public spaces, venue operation and maintenance and arts education. 

Every good time at one of our venues enriches Denver through arts and culture and helps Denver’s cultural community thrive — for good!
