. ADSF is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit membership organization. The organization was formed in 2003 and became one of the first Certified Creative Districts in the state of Colorado in 2012. Denver's Art District on Santa Fe spans from West 13th Avenue on the North to West Alameda Avenue on the South, and Kalamath Street on the West to Inca Street on the East. It is primarily located in the La Alma- Lincoln Park neighborhood in Denver, but it also overlaps the Baker neighborhood. This stretch of Santa Fe was once a buffalo migration route, and the first settlers arrived in the mid-1800s. The area was home to waves of immigrants, initially from Europe and Russia, followed by Mexicans fleeing the Revolution of 1910. Many of the buildings in the district have large murals on their exteriors, often containing imagery from the local Chicano culture. Cookbooks At Santa Fe Art Walk Denver June 6 2025
