The Greeley CReative Arts CENTER OPens Jan. 31
We’re throwing a party!
AND YOU’RE ON THE VIP LIST.
After six months of careful renovation, we’re ready to celebrate the launch of our creative space.
The Greeley Creative District is proud to announce the grand opening of phase one of the Greeley Creative Arts Center (GCAC) on January 31. Swing by our new home at 702 13th Street any time between noon and 3 p.m. for a free, come-as-you-are community open house.
Explore how we’ve reimagined the bones of our beautiful old building, and watch it come alive with art makers, art lovers, and the delightfully curious.
Taste light refreshments, browse local art, and sway to live music while you wander through hands-on art demonstrations from our teaching artists, members, and fellow Greeley creatives. Expect balloon artistry, glass and copper crafting, henna, tabletop weaving, belly dancing, and more. (Because art, like many good things in life, should be a little unexpected!)
It’s playful. It’s creative. It’s all-ages and all-welcome.
