Over the past year, the Alliance Community has journeyed together—from asking, Where Do We Go From Here? in March, to planting possibilities with Stories as Seeds in July, and grounding ourselves in the living landscape during our Regenerative Farm Tour in September. Now, we gather one last time in this year’s signature event series to weave it all together; through art, imagination, and community.

What: Together, We Grow, a collaborative art experience and community celebration for everyone
When: Thursday, November 20, 4:00-7:00pm
How: We’ll create a circular, evolving art piece, a living metaphor for the interconnectedness of our work and our shared future. We'll also host an art show highlighting local artists whose work embodies the regenerative, relational, and resilient future we’re building together.

Admission is free (but RSVP required), light appetizers and your first drink are on us. There’s no need to be an artist to participate; this experience is about connection, not perfection.

In a world where it’s easy to focus on what we’re fighting against, this gathering is about what we’re growing for: the shared visions, values, and relationships that make transformation possible. Together, we’ll imagine the world we want to grow toward and remind ourselves that we are not alone—we are stronger together.

In the spirit of Collective Action we will be working with community partners to bring you this event:

BRDG project is a local nonprofit art organization dedicated to bringing local, artist-driven and thought-provoking arts back to Denver neighborhoods, building community through art. Brett Matarazzo—Director and Creator of the Alliance Center 20 year commemorative art installation—will curate a group of artist for the event.
We’re honored to welcome Melanie Schambach, a Latinx visual artist and community facilitator whose work transforms collective imagination into living, shared story. With deep roots in participatory art and trauma-informed practice, Melanie creates spaces where connection, reflection, and belonging take shape through creativity. At Together We Grow, Melanie will guide us in co-creating a circular, evolving art piece — a visual expression of our interconnected futures and the shared commitments that sustain our community.
