GIA Conference: Closing Dinner

On the final night in Denver, conference attendees will gather at the McNichols Civic Center Building at the northwest corner of Civic Center Park for a celebration and dinner from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The McNichols Civic Center Building is a contemporary hub for arts, culture, and events with a unique activation model that addresses the space needs of our creative community.

This stunning Greek Revival building features a diverse and recognized art exhibition series, and hosts public events, weddings, receptions, performances, private events, and more.

The evening’s festivities will be held on all three levels of the McNichols Building, with access to Civic Center Park, where guests can gather together, taste the global fair from Comal Heritage Food Incubator, dance to the eclectic and energetic vibes of two of Colorado’s most exciting artists, and explore the three special exhibits.

In addition, several local artists will present artworks in the Cultural Intersections Artists’ Marketplace, an art fair curated by the Denver Conference Planning Committee. Cash or check may be required for purchase.

Buses to the McNichols Civic Center will begin to depart the hotel at 6 p.m.

Comal Heritage Food Incubator is a lunch restaurant + training program started by Focus Points Family Resource Center, a non-profit that serves families in the Globeville and Elyria-Swansea neighborhoods. Its goal is to provide skills in culinary arts and business as a platform for economic development to aspiring women – many originating from Mexico, El Salvador, Syria, Iraq, and Ethiopia – to maintain and celebrate their traditions through entrepreneurial ventures.
