🎭✨ Catalysts: Honoring the Faces Behind Denver Arts & Culture ✨🎭
The Denver Theatre District proudly presents Catalysts, a community artwork by renowned British-American artist Jann Haworth. This collage features 34 portraits of individuals who play a vital role in shaping and sustaining Denver’s vibrant arts and culture.

In 2024, we nominated Ann Bowar- who plays a pivotal role in CCJA. We are so excited to share that she was selected! Thank you for all you do, Ann!

Each honoree was selected by a local arts organization with essays detailing their extraordinary contributions. In June 2024, Haworth led a hands-on workshop to bring these portraits to life, which were then photographed, enlarged, and transformed into a triptych art billboard.
Catalysts will be on display starting March 14th on the side of the Buell Theatre (Champa St., between 13th & 14th) and will remain there until 2027.
Celebrate the incredible impact of these changemakers in our community. Stop by and take it all in! Visit our website at Catalystsproject.com

Album of the Week! This week we’re featuring University of Denver’s Director of Jazz and Commercial Music Studies and Grammy Nominated Saxophonist/composer, Remy LeBoeuf’s “Heartland Radio”!

“On Heartland Radio, the four-time Grammy-nominated composer and saxophonist Remy Le Boeuf finds inspiration in the ever-shifting soundscape of the great American road trip. Through seven tracks of stunning ingenuity and intimacy, Le Boeuf’s large ensemble Assembly of Shadows melds modern jazz language and classical textures with ideas and emotions gleaned from pop radio. Echoes of indie rock, R&B, dance-pop, alternative, and EDM infuse breathtaking orchestral harmony, nimble ensemble interplay and masterful solos — including those by the bandleader, whose crystalline alto work exhibits a depth of understanding that only the music’s composer could attain.”
