SUPPORT
A Home to Be Unapologetically You!
Rainbow Dome is a queer-centric hub that uses art and activity to facilitate authentic community formation. We are engaged in a social cohesion project that invites our audience to be unapologetically themselves and be received as such. We center joy, because we believe it is a vital state of being that supports physical and mental health and increases our resiliency.
​
Located in Sun Valley, 1660 N Federal Blvd will be the eventual home for Rainbow Dome, the only dedicated roller skating rink within the City of Denver. The 29,000 sqft property has the potential to be a catalyst for nurturing social cohesion and creative placemaking along Denver’s growing entertainment corridor, connecting Meow Wolf, the Platte River walk, and Empower Field at Mile High.

Rainbow Dome created a safe space for me to skate and do what I love to do and get paid to do it!

Every time I show up to Rainbow Dome events I feel included they always have the proper music and vibes at their events
Enter the Dome
The first floor will be a gateway to the roller rink, featuring a lobby, black box/gallery/rehearsal space,
merchandise shop, and cafe. Phase 2 will expand the first floor's multi-functions, creating a community hub with additional gathering spaces as well as tenant spaces for values-aligned organizations.
The Rink
Descending through a portal to enter Rainbow Dome’s art exhibition and event space, the basement
will feature rotating artwork within which the audience will gather to experience joy-in-motion, such as roller skating, music, comedy, and live art.
