40 West Arts is an all-volunteer, non-profit, arts district, supported by individuals, businesses and civic organizations, that exists to enrich the community and support the creative, cultural and economic vitality of the region. Located in northeast Lakewood, anchored by historic West Colfax (US 40), Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design, and the new Lamar Street Light Rail Station, this emerging, community oriented, arts district embraces arts of all kind—from fine arts to digital media, cool jazz to string quartets, square dance to traditional crafts–and everything in between. 40 West’s singular goal is to support the arts, artists, and artisans by creating community arts spaces and community arts events in order to bring the joy and energy of creativity to our community.
