Why We’re Going
This day is designed for Arapahoe Libraries patrons who are curious about the rich cultural landscape right here in Denver. Museo de las Américas is the premier Latin American Art Museum in the Rocky Mountain region and celebrates the artistic and cultural achievements of these communities for over three decades, from ancient to folk to contemporary art.
Tonantzin Casa de Café's mission is to celebrate the indigenous culture of the Southwest and Latin America through coffee and atole drinks in an environment that is as safe and welcoming as home.
What You’ll Gain
By the end of the day, participants will:
See cultural art and history firsthand
Learn about indigenous culture of the Southwest through food and drink
Connect with fellow patrons who care about civic life and community
