EVERY WEDNESDAY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE age 12 to 24
You don’t have to think you’re a poet or an artist, we already know you’re a creative genius. Come and speak your truth with other youth!
Join Art from Ashes facilitators and other youth from the community for FREE creative time at Art from Ashes.
Stop in any Wednesday at 4 pm to engage in some writing and art prompts, followed by pizza at 5pm! We’re at 1310 West 10th Ave right next to the 10th and Osage light rail station (map below).
All young people between the age of 12 and 24 are welcome. We provide the writing materials, art supplies, food and drinks… You provide the creative genius!
You can email us using the form below if you’d like to let us know you’re coming or want more information…and if you want to be sure you get some food. Or just drop in any Wednesday at 4pm!
Thank you so much to the Tony Grampsas Youth Services (TGYS) and Caring for Denver Foundation, and to all our business sponsors and individual donors who make these workshops possible!

First Friday Performance
2022-05-06 18:00 - 18:45 | Art from Ashes, 1310 West 10th Ave., Denver, Colorado, 80204
FOR ALL AGES

Join us every First Friday for youth spoken word performances!
Show support for the young people who participate in our Phoenix Rising youth empowerment program. Listen as youth poets ages 12 to 24 tell their stories in metaphor through poems written in only 3 minutes.
On May 6th we hope to see you at one or more of several locations where we will be participating in activities and hosting performances (luckily, they are all close to each other!)
From 2 to 9pm, our table will be set up at the Queer Art Showcase, hosted by OUT FRONT Magazine and located at SKYLIGHT, 833 Santa Fe Drive. Swing by and say hi while also shopping for local handmade goods (more info here)
We also will be at Strawberry Mountain, an awesome up-cycled clothing store (conveniently right next door to SKYLIGHT) for a street performance featuring our youth poets, slated to begin at 6:30pm.
Celebrate community with Art from Ashes!

Just before the public performance, youth gather at our location at 5pm for a FREE one-hour Phoenix Rising writing and performance workshop, featuring a local poet. All youth are welcome.
Go here for more details or contact the Program Manager below for more information.
