It’s almost time — Cherry Creek Arts Festival preview inside
Booth 107. Big new work. Here’s what to know.
Dear Art Friends,
It’s July 1, which means “Rabbit Rabbit” were the first words out of my mouth this morning. Did you also grow up with this superstition?
July also means the Cherry Creek Arts Festival is finally here! Read on for details to help you navigate the festival with ease—and maybe fall in love with something stitched and unexpected.
A Bit of Press
I had the honor of chatting with the Denver Gazette about my work leading up to the event.
“We’re so lucky to have this art festival in our backyard. Cherry Creek Arts Festival is international, and not a huge proportion of artists are local. The show is not homogenous,” she said. “This is a large cultural phenomenon that raises awareness about creative risk-taking and current trends so people can see something happening on the ground.”
Martin’s creative risk-taking results in mixed-media assemblages incorporating her handwritten paper notes, fabric, thread, oil paints, and cold wax—often arranged in a grid.

Tips for the Weekend
☀️ It’s going to be sunny and HOT. Come early, wear breathable clothes and comfy shoes, and bring water.
👀 Browse all exhibiting artists ahead of time to plan your visit.
🎒 Pro tip: serious collectors often come early on Friday. Still, most artists have plenty of inventory—don’t be shy about asking what’s tucked away in the back.
