VENUE INFO
To stumble into Invisible City would feel like falling back in time. Housed in a building rich with Denver's history, you may encounter emotions reminiscent of a dream, an era you have a hard time putting your finger on, breath taking and Intimate. Invisible city is a place, yes. But it's more than that, within these walls is a growing community. We are explorers, those who refuse to live a life at surface level. We are the curious, the engaged, a group who believes that to create the kind of life you want to live takes effort from within. We believe that the happiest people have the most community and that any moment has the potential to be the best of our lives.
Since it would be unlikely for you to simply stumble in... Let us invite you.

Brett Dixon
Associate Creative Director, CP+BBorn and raised in Syracuse, NY, Brett graduated from a small SUNY college that had a strange smell at night. And he loved every minute of it. After that, he spent over a decade in NYC, earning his stripes at places like Saatchi and mcgarrybowen. In 2015, CP+B came calling. If that wasn’t lovely enough, the allure of fresh air, fresh powder, a car, and enough room for a dog were all too good to pass up. At Crispin, he’s worked on many accounts, including Infiniti, Hotels.com, Twizzlers, barkTHINS, Almond Joy, and Fruit of the Loom. And he now has the dog he’s always wanted. Please give him a round of applause. Not tonight. Just, in general, if you ever see him, start clapping. It will confuse him greatly, which should be fun for you.
