Union Hall Art Space

1750 Wewatta St, Suite 144

Union Hall art space is located on the ground floor of The Coloradan building, an 18-story, LEED Gold-certified luxury condominium built in 2019 to blend seamlessly with the historic architecture and rapid development of Denver’s Union Station and Lower Downtown (LoDo) neighborhoods. The rear of the building features an entrance that connects directly with Union Station’s pedestrian bridge, creating a grand, processional entryway leading directly to Union Hall’s gallery.

Union Hall was co-master developed by East West Partners and Ascentris to be the first exhibition space and arts nonprofit integrated into a private real estate development in Denver.

Founded the same year as The Coloradan, Union Hall is a nonprofit culture and exhibition space developed by local artists and community members to address gaps in the regional arts ecosystem by providing a flexible, artist-driven platform for curatorial risk and creative experimentation. Union Hall has continued to cultivate a community of emerging creatives, presenting experimental and socially engaged work through exhibitions, public programs, and educational pathways. The organization’s mission is to advance opportunities for diverse, emerging creatives; offer accessible and enriching cultural experiences for Denver residents and visitors; and serve as a community-centered space for critical inquiry, dialogue, and connection.

To design the gallery space itself, East West Partners hired a team of consultants. including the award-winning art advisory firm Nine dot Arts, Communitas Consultants and David Ehrlich, founder of FinWater Advisors and the executive director of the Denver Theater District. This team had expertise not only in art curation, but also in production and how to make uncommon things happen in common spaces. They worked closely with the design team at Semple Brown to make the space as flexible as possible, appropriate for hosting art exhibitions as well as anything from theatrical productions to film screenings and fashion shows.
