Downtown Denver New to Public Art
Downtown Denver New to Public Art Public Art Phonecasts Downtown Denver is alive with public art. Take a stroll down any street and you will be amazed by the quantity and quality of art you encounter. Want to learn more about some of the artworks you see in this guide? There are over 100 public artworks waiting to be seen, heard and experienced on the streets and in buildings and parks downtown. Each work is a unique experience for the senses. Denver’s Public Art Program is offering Public Art Phonecasts of our most popular artworks. From any phone, dial 1-877-336-2787 (1-877-DEN-ARTS) and the extension listed below to hear short interviews with the artists talking about their work. Look for more phonecasts coming soon! Walk underneath the Dancers (23k) and dance to the original music composed by artist Jonathan Borofsky to accompany the sculpture. Pause along Curtis Street and observe the reactions of unsuspecting passersby as they activate Jim Green’s Soundwalk (25), or be still and meditate on Sol LeWitt’s sublime Untitled (30) for the GSA Federal Courthouse.
