Home is where the heart is ❤️

"House Play" by Boulder, Colorado-based artist team George Peters and Melanie Walker (@airworksstudio) helps transform the institutional environment of the Assessment, Intake, and Diversion (AID) Center into a warm and welcoming kid-friendly experience.

Originally created in 2003, the "houses" of this piece were recently restored by the artists, who also added the mural background and donated matching rugs.

Before ➡️ After

Yesterday, we joined @wearewellpower and @kococollab to celebrate the completion of "Togetherness," a new mural work in the Emerson St. waiting area funded by an Urban Arts Fund: Engage grant. Congratulations on a beautiful piece!

Artist Statement: We depicted three diverse young people as our subjects to represent the community of Emerson St. We portray the mental health work done in this facility by using specific imagery and colors. For this piece, we used bright plant designs to illustrate growth and resilience. The sun is a symbol of hope, illumination and inspiration. We use stars in our work to invoke an essence of aspiration and dreams. The stars also remind us of the home we all share on Earth. We use black in all of our work as a way to represent obstacles and to speak to the need of darkness in order to bring the light forward.

Gerald Cross’s iconic untitled orange-and-blue geometric sculpture has made a triumphant return! 🧡 💙

The 1975 sculpture was rejuvenated by @artmanageplan, and has been relocated to the Speer Boulevard median between Larimer and Market streets.

Cross's two- and three-dimensional work was known for fusion of the rigorous, angular and ordered aspects of geometry with the whimsy and imagination of bright colors and design.
