Kids Day in the Courtyard

Thursdays in July
11:00 A.M.

One Colorado and the Armory Center for the Arts are ready to celebrate the summer with the acclaimed children’s series Kids in the Courtyard, which consists of participatory, live performances followed by art workshops led by the Armory Center for the Arts. Performances and activities take place under the big umbrellas in the One Colorado Courtyard, and are free and open to the public. Children of all ages are welcome. Free baby stroller parking is provided.

Each performance is accompanied by a drop-in art project tailored to the theme of the show, whether creating sculptures, making sounds, or playing with clay. These hands-on art activities are guided by instructors from Armory Center for the Arts. Come dressed to create fun things!
