John Lennon's passing in 1980 left a void in the world of music and creativity.
Yet, Denver has long embraced his ethos, fostering a vibrant arts scene that thrives on community and innovation.
From the bustling streets of RiNo to the historic avenues of Capitol Hill, the city pulses with artistic energy.
Murals burst with color, pop-up performances surprise passersby, and local voices resonate through diverse mediums.
Denver's creators pursue their crafts not for applause, but for expression, connection, and clarity.
This grounded approach mirrors Lennon's belief in art as a unifying force.
Recent events underscore this commitment.
On December 5, 2025, the Trinity United Methodist Church hosted a candlelit tribute to The Beatles, celebrating their enduring influence.
