RiNo launches behind the scenes tour series

The RiNo Art District is launching a behind-the-scenes tour series, giving exclusive access to the most exciting developments and businesses in the district while benefiting artist initiatives. For a $35 ticket, guests will be treated to first looks, insider information, and tasty food and drink at a different RiNo location each month. All proceeds from ticket sales go back to the RiNo Art District to help fund artist initiatives and other projects the district spearheads.

“We are seeing tremendous interest in all the new projects happening in RiNo. The Insider Tour Series allows us to facilitate opportunities for the community to learn more about the changing landscape in RiNo, while raising funds to support the arts and artists in RiNo,” said RiNo President, Jamie Licko. “These events turn the excitement and buzz that is part of our story into tangible support for the creatives who make RiNo special.”

The inaugural RiNo Insider Tour will take guests through a first-look of the soon-to-open Ramble Hotel on April 4, 2018. Guests will be able to choose between two time slots, either 5:30pm or 6:30pm, to get a behind-the-scenes tour of the hotel with hotel developer and operator Ryan Diggins while enjoying drinks and bites.

“This is a win-win situation for everyone involved,” said RiNo Art District Co-Founder, Tracy Weil. “The community gets exclusive access to exciting new projects, the developers get to present their hard work, and artists in the district get additional funding.”

Tickets are still available for The Ramble Hotel Insider Tour, though with only 30 entries per time slot, they are selling quickly. Tickets can be purchased via the RiNo Art District website, at www.rinoartdistrict.org. Future RiNo Insider Tours will invite people in for exclusive access of The Source Hotel on May 2 and O’Dell Brewery on June 6.

“I’ve always loved hard hat tours, as they blend imagination and storytelling with a space that’s on the cusp of entering the world,” said Ryan Diggins, Partner in Gravitas Development Group, who is developing The Ramble. “We’re excited to host the inaugural Insider tour and provide access to people who are passionate about design and development, while raising money and awareness for artist initiatives at the same time.”
