Join Access Gallery and Slow Food Denver in celebrating local art and ingredients at an evening garden party event! See and shop for art by artists with disabilities, enjoy locally crafted fare, and explore the private gardens of a historic log cabin home in University Park. All proceeds benefit the mission and work of these organizations.

Slow Food Denver brought cooking classes to Access Gallery to inspire the artists' latest works. In turn, distinguished local chefs have taken inspiration from these Access Gallery artworks to create delicious & substantial appetizers for you to enjoy. Experience these food and art “pairings” stationed throughout the garden and enjoy an art exhibition of works inspired by food and fresh ingredients. 

Other exciting happenings at the event:

• Local artist AJ Kiel – one of Access Gallery’s most prolific artists – will be live painting a one-of-a-kind work. This painting and other exciting food and art items will be auctioned during the event.
• Create an artwork of your own using food as your inspiration and supplies! As an additional experience, guests are invited to participate in our printmaking station and use food materials to create texture.
