Sustainability
Sustainability isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation of 910Arts, where creativity and responsibility shape a brighter future for all.
Start with Denver’s urban environment. Add a LEED – designed building. Blend in affordable housing, education, and collaboration with the local community. Top it off with a community of professional artists, coffee and treats from Tonantzin Casa De Cafe and capoeira from UCA Colorado. What do you get? You get a beacon of sustainability, green innovation, and community impact, blending history inside 910Arts. Located in a revitalized space once home to horse stables and a 7-Up bottling plant, this former industrial site has been transformed into a creative hub featuring affordable live/work lofts, work studios, galleries, and event spaces within walking distance of downtown Denver.
At the heart of 910Arts is a commitment to adaptive reuse and green building practices; it goes “beyond green,” creating a dynamic model for innovation that inspires social and environmental change through creative collaboration. Every step of this project integrated affordability, construction waste management, creativity, social responsibility, re-use, education, and community, making it an inspiring example of the environmental, economic, and social benefits of green building and circular economies.
Beyond the building, 910Arts engages youth in green education, fosters public-private partnerships, and promotes education and equity while integrating art, community, and sustainability. It is not just a building or a place, it is a creative community of artists committed to sharing their work and passion. Not only does 910Arts provide emerging artists with an affordable, creative environment in which to work and live but it is also a catalyst to bring art into the everyday life of the community.
