Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Just in case you're not already planning on being at Artopia tomorrow night (you are planning on being at Artopia, right?), here's another sweet way to spend your Saturday night. How about listening to sweet tunes and literary works while sipping wine beneath two inflatable bunnies? Sound like a bad trip? Just wait until you get a little tipsy and see the eccentric (and sometimes frightening) art on display in the private (read: you'll feel like a baller once you get into) The Dikeou Collection, housed on the fifth floor of the Colorado Building (1615 California Street).
Saturday marks the beginning of the collection's latest reading series, which, in a new move, will feature musical artists in addition to authors. That said, it's fitting that the first musician featured at this mysterious collection is the elusive Edward Almost (Phil Shaw), whose fun, Devendra Banhart-esque folk music borders on avant-garde. Following his performance, Bhanu Kapil, Noah Eli Gordon and David Buuck will read some of their own work.
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
