Cherry Creek Arts Festival adds second venue at Stanley Marketplace

September 2, 2015

CherryArts Festival at Stanley, produced by the Cherry Creek Arts Festival, is a collaboration with the yet-to-be-opened Stanley Marketplace in Aurora, featuring national art, local flavor and creative living on Oct. 23, 24 and 25.

The Festival includes a national juried art show with more than 70 exhibiting artists in 13 media categories, including ceramics, mixed media, digital art, photography, metalworks and drawing. For a complete list of participating artists, visit www.cherryartsstanley.org/exhibiting-artists/.

In addition to the national juried artists, visitors will enjoy live entertainment, children’s activities, home design vignettes by Colorado Homes & Lifestyles and culinary demonstrations at the Colorado Homes & Lifestyles Kitchen presented by Specialty Appliance Dacor. Visitors also are invited to experience Chandelier Harp, the interactive light sculpture created by Boulder-based and internationally renowned artist, Jen Lewin.

“We are excited to collaborate with the Stanley Marketplace as they open their doors to the Aurora and Stapleton neighborhoods,” said Chris Stevens, CherryArts president and CEO. “CherryArts’ newest event, CherryArts Festival at Stanley, strives to integrate art buying into this new food-centric, community-inspired hub.”

Stanley Marketplace is a former aviation building that is being transformed into a food-centric, community inspired hub on the border of Aurora and Stapleton. Opening in 2016, Stanley will include a beer hall, multiple restaurants, a fitness center and yoga studio, office space, an events center, and numerous retail options.

CherryArts Festival at Stanley is free to the public on Oct. 24 and 25, with a special Opening Night Grand Tasting ticketed event on Oct. 23.

The Opening Night Grand Tasting will feature an exclusive first look at Stanley Marketplace with a grand tasting of future Stanley Marketplace restaurants and vendors, national juried visual artists, and special entertainment and programming. Tickets to the Opening Night Grand Tasting can be purchased at www.cherryartsstanley.org/buy-tickets-grand-tasting/.
