| Common Ground Community Design Festival |
|
|
| Common Ground brings together civic leaders, community organizations, designers, and students to show the power of design to create a Denver where everyone belongs.
Five community organizations from around Denver were paired with teams of architecture students and faculty at the University of Colorado Denver to co-create public pavilions that celebrate their unique mission and identity.
The pavilions will be on display at a first-of-its-kind design festival for Denver, at the Denver Performing Arts Complex for a limited time starting September 24!
See the full festival events line up below – we hope to see you there!
All events are free & open to the public.
Common Ground is proudly presented by the Denver Mayor’s Office, CU Denver College of Architecture and Planning, Denver Architecture Foundation, and the Lavender Hill Cultural District.
