creative and curious Coloradans building community with a purpose.
Biennial Culture Club
Welcome to the Biennial Culture Club! We’re a community of curious and creative Coloradans coming together with purpose. Through arts and culture, we build connections here in Colorado and across the Americas.
As a member, you’ll join us for unique experiences—artist studio visits, cultural outings, community gatherings, and behind-the-scenes access to creative spaces. Together, we support local arts, foster meaningful exchange, and celebrate the diverse voices that shape our region and beyond.
We’re so glad you’re here—your participation makes this community thrive.
What We do
-
Curated Monthly Events
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Weekly Culture Hops
CultureHops are a weekly Friday morning gathering that takes members inside artist studios, galleries, museums, and cultural landmarks across the city. These gatherings foster deeper engagement with Denver’s arts community, often featuring coffee and pastries from small, locally owned businesses with roots across the Americas.
-
Culture Trips
From artist studio visits and art fairs to architectural walks, curated tours, and meals at acclaimed restaurants, Culture Trips immerse members in the vibrant fabric of arts and culture across the Americas. Each journey offers behind-the-scenes access and unforgettable connections with local leaders, creatives, and communities. Check out where we are headed next!

“The work that the Biennial of the Americas does to promote artists like myself is priceless. Since moving to Denver a year ago, Culture Club has been the best thing I’ve been part of—it’s connected me with valuable people across many fields that I wouldn’t have met otherwise. I’m beyond grateful to be part of this community.”

“What I love about the Biennial Culture Club is how it transforms art, ideas, and conversation into shared experience—it’s culture as communion and always reminds me of Tolstoy: ‘Art is a human activity consisting in this, that one person consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through.’”
--James Eklund, Water and Natural Resource Law Attorney
Upcoming Events
CultureHop: D’Art Gallery
This week, CultureHop takes us to D’Art Gallery for Divergens by Taos-based artist KEO, curated by Culture Club Member Lovedy Barbatelli. Rooted in Japanese Zen Shodo calligraphy, KEO’s work flows from a contemplative mind, guided by movement, energy, and breath.
Curator Lovedy Barbatelli reflects:
“Keo’s inner knowing and outer expression transcend and include everything. This creates a coherent way of being—he becomes his creative process. Keo moves as spirit in action.”
CultureHOp: Denver Botanic Gardens
This week, CultureHop brings us to Denver Botanic Gardens to visit three of their exhibitions, Agave: Symbol and Spirit, Nourished: Works by Jazz Holmes, and Xochimilco: Works by Eduardo Robledo Romero. Join us as we enjoy these exhibits and appreciate the natural beauty and inspiration that comes from nature.
