Boulder Arts Week
April 4-12, 2025
Get ready. Boulder Arts Week is back for another year of festivities at the beginning of April, with arts and culture offerings including art walks, exhibitions, performances, dance, music, theater, public art, lectures, readings and workshops at venues throughout the city. Boulder has one of the top ten most vibrant arts communities among medium-sized U.S. cities, and Boulder Arts Week, now in its 10th year, is your chance to see many of its artists in action during nine days packed with arts events.

For arts lovers, the week-long series of events means a smorgasbord of cultural experiences, from murals and installations to art walks and events both online and in person featuring a huge variety of disciplines — including dance, music, theater, visual arts and more.
