Carol Mier has been designing unique, elegant fashions for 30+ years.
18 years ago she was fortunate to help establish Art District on Santa Fe Drive.
The Denver Art Museum gift shop has carried her line  &
many entertainers, prominent figures & creatives strut the fashions of Carol Mier.

The vision:
"I design unique styles that flatter the individual’s look.
Beyond trend." - Carol Mier

 

Her unusual but very tasteful  combination of fabrics, textures shapes & colors
will lift your confident & make you feel special which we all need in all aspects of our lives.

The style is expressive in order to celebrate every lifestyle
as compared to dressy attitude that is only for a special event.

The fashion is appropriate for female & male and designed & made right here in her Santa Fe neighborhood Denver studio.

Visit her for an uplifting experience in visual delight.

Mexican born/Texas raised Munoz's "POETRY FOR THE LIBERATED, is an open mic/bilingual poetry and spoken word soiree. The title refers to the oppression of people in our present day society. His own work explores the juxtaposed reality of being a bilingual, bipolar, disposable and very sexual homosexual and AMERICAN MADE ARTIST...You will laugh, you will cry, you will want the t-shirt. He will offend you, anger you and make you laugh, but most important he will make you feel. His work has often been compared to LENNY BRUCE, ALLEN GINSBERG, AND JEAN GENET.

Highlighted Artist - Victoria Gómez Betancourt


Victoria Gómez Betancourt is a native of Caracas, Venezuela and a Mexican at heart. This veMEXzolana pays homage to her life-long adventures in rural towns and urbes of Mexico by singing gripping rancherasand traditional Mexican canciones. Performances often include hits from the trova suramericana that grapple with social and political issues. Her Caribbean roots and llanera heritage come alive through the deep hues of her voice, and political dissonance rise through her falsete.


In addition to music, Victoria has a long trajectory as a visual artist and a writer. Both her artwork and her prose explore the complexities of being Latina, sudaca, a woman of color, and an immigrant chingona who is also a reproductive justice advocate and abortion positive artivist.

Victoria lives in Aurora’s immigrant enclave with her two loves, her mom Teo and her cat Tenoch.
