Lavender Hill is all about collaboration and working together to make shared goals a reality. Whether creating a new piece of public art, engaging with queer stakeholders, planning an event, or embarking on a long-term project, we are here to partner, connect, magnify, and support the queer community.

We are looking for landlords and business owners looking for murals and public artwork on their public-facing walls!

We have art and artists ready to go; we just need somewhere to paint! Help us make Lavender Hill more visibly representative of our community!

PLACEMAKING

Through projects that create a visible sense of queerness in the district, we honor the legacy of Denver’s historic ‘gayborhood’ while celebrating and promoting contemporary LGBTQ+ culture.

PUBLIC ART

Through public art like murals, sculptures, and other creative installations, both temporary and permanent, Lavender Hill uplifts queer artists and brings queer stories to the public.

HISTORY & PRESERVATION

The cultural district honors, helps to document, and safeguards the rich legacy of Denver’s queer community, hoping to ensure historic places are preserved and our stories endure for future generations.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

Do you need queer representation or voices for your project? We help connect the greater Denver community and queer individuals, businesses, and organizations to amplify voices and foster meaningful collaborations.
