Boulder Arts Week celebrates the city’s creative community April 3 to 12, 2026

Artists, performers, and organizations across Boulder will host exhibitions, workshops, performances, and interactive events throughout the week

BOULDER, Colo. – Boulder Arts Week returns April 3 – 12, 2026, as an annual celebration of the artists, nonprofits, businesses, theaters and galleries that help make Boulder’s arts and culture scene vibrant. Throughout the week, community members can explore a wide range of events, including mural tours, theater performances, dance workshops, poetry readings, pottery classes and more offerings across the city.

This year’s Boulder Arts Week features more than 115 events, workshops, and creative experiences taking place across the city. Visitors can also stroll through downtown to view the Student Banner Project along the Pearl Street Mall, featuring 42 new lamp pole banners created by young artists from Columbine Elementary School, Casey Middle School, and Boulder High School. The celebration is supported by over 75 business champions across the city.

“Boulder Arts Week celebrates the creativity at the heart of our community,” said Lauren Click, Office of Arts and Culture Manager. “From neighborhood galleries to student artists and community performances, the week highlights the many ways arts and culture connect people across Boulder. This year is especially meaningful as we unveil the Boulder Arts Blueprint, a roadmap that will guide how we support artists and strengthen Boulder’s creative ecosystem over the next decade.”

The community is invited to celebrate this milestone at the Boulder Arts Blueprint Launch Party on the final day of Arts Week, April 12, from 1 to 3 p.m. at KGNU’s new facility, located at 1720 14th St. The event will feature live painting, hands-on art activities for all ages, a dance performance, temporary tattoos by a local tattoo artist, tours of KGNU’s new building, snacks and refreshments, exclusive swag and live music curated by Roots Music Project. This event will also highlight the winners of this year’s Boulder Arts Week Awards.

The city supported more than 16 events through the Boulder Arts Week Event Sponsorship Program. In addition to the Boulder Arts Blueprint Launch Party, featured events during Boulder Arts Week include:

“Strip Mall Movement” – a series of public dance performances, culminating in a community performance, in the strip mall at 7464 Arapahoe Road in East Boulder. This project is part of the city’s Experiments in Public Art Program.
