Cherry Creek Arts Festival

If art crime thrills you, you might be interested in the book list Forgers, Filchers and Fakes.

When in the main library, be sure to visit the Photography of Roger Whitacre Exhibit, the Hazlo Ahora Photography Exhibit and the wonderful art work always on display in the Western History and Genealogy Department.

The library would love to see your art and know which books you found helpful in creating it! I Made It With the Library displays the creativity and artistry alive in Denver today!
