Hide it. Find it. Share it.

Celebrate Art Drop Day on Tuesday, Sept. 1, as artists, art lovers and community members leave small works of art around Denver for others to discover.

Originally started by artist Jake Parker in Provo, Utah, Art Drop Day is now a worldwide celebration held on the first Tuesday of September, creating connections between strangers through the simple act of sharing art.

This year, Denver Arts & Venues will join the fun by dropping art at iconic locations throughout Denver, including locations across the city’s 11 Council districts.

Want to find art? Follow #ArtDropDenver2026 and #ArtDropDay and join the Art Drop Denver Facebook group for clues to hidden artwork throughout the city.

Want to drop art? Everyone is invited to participate! You don’t have to be a professional artist. Create, purchase or share something easily collectible, hide it somewhere safe and accessible, then post a photo and clue using #ArtDropDenver2026 and #ArtDropDay on the Art Drop Denver Facebook group.

Art Drop Day is free, open to everyone and happening throughout Denver all day.
