Over the last several years, Lifespan Local has been deeply listening to resident community leaders and neighbors in Southwest Denver about what would make the Westwood neighborhood stronger and more resilient. The answer that they kept hearing was that “we need a place.”
Guided by the community-driven process that Dr. Lydia Prado undertook at Dahlia Campus for Health & Well-Being, Lifespan Local has replicated the framework of deep community listening in Southwest Denver to ensure that what is built in Westwood is truly aligned with what the community has advocated for.
In February of 2021, Lifespan Local purchased the Redeemer Lutheran Church in Southwest Denver one block south of Alameda Avenue on Irving Street. The renovation of Westwood Redeemer was opened to the public in 2025 and named by the community “Blossom House.”

Blossom House is a vibrant community hub offering spaces to learn, gather, and grow. With resources for early education, youth development, wellness, and connection, we’re here to support and uplift SW Denver.
The first Art Exhibit at Blossom house happened in the Spring of 2026. April 10 was the opening reception of “The Forest Within” an art exhibit about the tree of life and what it represents in both our internal and external landscapes. Colorado-based artist Arturo Garcia invites you to the Closing reception Thursday, June 25 from 6:00-8:00 pm. in the newly renovated Blossom House Community Center located at 3300 West Nevada Place in the Westwood neighborhood of Denver.

For ancient Mesoamerican civilizations, the tree of life
represented a conduit between the three main levels of existence: the roots communicated with the underworld, while the crown or foliage could touch the sky and on a broader scale, the universe as perceived by the great astronomers and their mysticism through Gods and Deities. The trunk was at the level of human existence in the physical world. It represented shelter, abundance, and a place of gathering.

On June 25 there will be a closing reception of the exhibit from 6:00-8:00 pm. This is a FREE event, open to the public. For more information, visit: www.arturogarciafineart.com

Artma IS BACK! February 28, 2026. Mark your Calendar!

artma is a unique, funky, and fabulous biennial auction of art, all of which is donated by local, regional, and nationally recognized artists. The proceeds of artma support The Morgan Adams Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving the quality of life and survival rates of children, teens, and young adults diagnosed with cancer.

I’ve been supporting artma for years because I believe in what they do raising funds for pediatric cancer research funding. As a cancer survivor, I know the importance of hope, and knowing there are working forces out there researching for a cure. It is our collaboration and your giving that makes that possible.

This is the piece of art I’ve donated for the event.

Arturo Garcia Studio & Gallery Presents
Patti with an Eye
Buffalo Medicine Woman's Photographic Story from the Wind River Reservation
Saturday, December 13, 2025
5-8 PM

A long, long time ago, way before once upon a time. Buffalo were wild and wild was home...

Share an evening of storytelling, connection and friendship.
Honoring the Buffalo and the good they ripple through all life and in all directions.
Ten Buffalo were reintroduced to the Wind River in 2016 after being absent for over 130 years. Since, their numbers have risen to over 250 collectively between the Eastern Shoshone
and Northern Arapaho. Beyond being the National Mammal, the Buffalo's importance to both Nations, has, is and will continue to directly affect the health and wealth of the
Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho people for generations to come.

Patti Harris-Baldes (Buffalo Medicine Woman), a Northern Arapaho and Big Pine Paiute Matriarch in training shares her Buffalo story through her 20-year photography journey dubbed, Patti with an Eye. Her story conveys the deep relationship that was also absent until Buffalo physically returned to her life. Her photography gifted much opportunity in the conservation world. Sharing her ReMatriate message through dance, song and speaking engagements, she advocates for Matriarchy, Land & Water Back, Food Sovereignty and Relationship. Patti's perspective of connection to the Buffalo is fed not only through her lens but meeting all her senses through field harvests, learning, and sharing.
Patti is the Director of Wind River Native Advocacy Center, and currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Native Memory Project, Wind River Community Alliance, Yellowstone Peoples and WyoFile.
