Smash takes over Fillmore Plaza Saturday and Sunday, Bar Dough runs Second Sunday Suppers at $35, and the Fresh Market is at peak season on the east side of the mall. Olathe corn is in. And on slide six, Joy Avedesian of @thestellarixgroup on what changed when financial planning stopped being only about investments.

Your medical history should not require a scavenger hunt through six patient portals, three email accounts and a folder you swear is somewhere in the house. @vividvaulthealth brings medical records, medications, appointments, wellness goals and family health information together in one secure personal health navigation platform, giving patients, caregivers and providers a clearer picture of the full story. We sat down with the team behind Vivid Vault to talk about why Cherry Creek is such a natural home for the growing company, their favorite Colorado escape and the place in the world they would return to tomorrow. A little health innovation. A little wanderlust. And a much more organized way to care for yourself and the people you love. #cherrycreekmagazine #cherrycreek #denverhealthandwellness #future #family

For one weekend in June, and again in August, @smashinthesquare turns Fillmore Plaza into an open-air gallery walk, bringing together national fine artists, live music, sculpture, painting, photography, jewelry, mixed media and the rare kind of event that works just as well for serious collectors as it does for people who simply know a good Saturday when they see one. Think: brunch, iced coffee, a slow lap through the booths, a second lap because something caught your eye, a glass of wine, a conversation with the artist and, quite possibly, the piece you will spend the rest of the day mentally placing in your living room. Free, walkable and right in the heart of Cherry Creek North, Smash Fine Arts Festival returns June 6–7 and August 8–9 on Fillmore Plaza. Proudly presented with sponsors @interiordefine and @cherrycreekmag Read the full story at the link in bio. #CherryCreekMagazine #SmashFineArtsFestival #InteriorDefine #CherryCreekNorth #DenverArt

Some artists follow the rules. @ashleycollinsstudio built an entire career by breaking them.   A blue-chip contemporary artist and the first woman to break the $100K mark, Collins has become known for her powerful, large-scale works that are as physical as they are emotional. Her horses are not simply subjects. They are symbols of survival, motion, beauty, defiance and freedom.   In our latest issue, we step inside the world of Ashley Collins, where antique pages, raw canvas, paint, history and instinct collide to create something unmistakably her own.   Meet The Rein Maker in Cherry Creek Magazine.

Forget Me Not is giving May exactly what it needs: bubbles, blossoms and one very stylish reason to lose at the Derby. 🐎 First up, The Losers’ Ball on Saturday, May 2, starting at 5 PM. Consider it the unofficial Kentucky Derby after-party for anyone whose horse did not understand the assignment. Bring your losing tickets, your best betting sob story and your most gracious loser energy. There will be music, specialty cocktails, door prizes, giveaways and an ice luge, because losing should at least come with a proper drink. 🥤 Then on Mother’s Day, Forget Me Not opens early at noon for Bubbles & Blossoms, a refined little afternoon of champagne, fresh florals, delectable bites and aromatic pours. Henrietta’s Flower Truck will be on-site designing custom bouquets, making this the rare Mother’s Day plan that feels thoughtful, chic and conveniently involves a cocktail. 🥂 Two events. One very good excuse to get to @forgetmenotdenver #ForgetMeNotDenver #CherryCreekNorth #KentuckyDerbyParty #MothersDayDenver #DenverCocktails
