It’s #TakeAWalkOutdoorsDay! We headed to Burns Park for a wintery look at the historic sculptures there, most of which were created for the Denver National Sculpture Symposium in 1968.

The “I Have A Dream” monument honoring Dr. Mar

The “I Have A Dream” monument honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in City Park had many visitors today, as we remember the civil rights leader on #MartinLutherKingJrDay. The Nobel Peace Prize winner is depicted alongside other important activists in the fight for freedom and equality: Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglass and Mahatma Gandhi, and panels surrounding the central pedestal represent four eras in African-American history.

In addition to being a prolific artist, sculptor Ed Dwight is also an accomplished Air Force pilot and America’s first Black astronaut candidate. Visit the “Ed Dwight: Soaring on the Wings of a Dream” exhibit at @denairport (or virtually at flydenver.com) to learn more.

On 12/30, we were honored to have prominent native elders of the Denver community Carlos Castaneda, Donna Castaneda, Rick Williams and Nita Gonzales come together to bless “The People’s Bridge of the Sun,” featuring artwork by David Ocelotl Garcia. If you use this bridge to access the National Western Campus once it opens to travelers, make sure you stop to recognize this work and its significance to the communities it connects.
