SAVE THE DATES FOR THIS YEAR'S DOORS OPEN DENVER 2010

Plus Gallery is proud to be part of this year's "Doors Open Denver" city tour, with its focus on buildings with a second life.  Here is some information regarding the tour, it's sure to be terrific and a great way to spend a weekend in April:

Doors Open Denver is a FREE 2-day event celebrating architecture and design. 2010 is the sixth year of this free, city-wide annual weekend event celebrating Denver's built environment and this year's theme is "Denver ReDux/Denver ReDo: Buildings With a Second Life." The event is designed to create access, awareness and excitement about adaptive reuse and good design by welcoming a wide audience into distinctive examples of architecture, engineering and design, both historic and modern. At the same time, it is an opportunity to invite Denver residents, as well as people from around the region, to come see what Denver has to offer and celebrate the city. 

Approximately 80 sites (including ours!) are participating during the event weekend, April 17-18. There are several ways to enjoy Doors Open Denver:
