Leveraging Arts to Overcome Challenging Times

Students from the Denver School of the Arts and professional artists will express the power of arts in our daily lives. These performances will be done through dance, music, visual arts and the spoken word. The arts have the power to emotionally move us from despair to hope, joy and laughter.
