Curbside Pickup Johson-Habitat Park
Art on the River is a chance for families to explore the different ways art can be inspired by nature. This year, we're creating packaged materials & activities for families to do on their own. Activities include: Build-a-Critter, Flower Sun-catcher, and Famous Paintings (Nature Recreations!). Packs are built with kiddos aged 6-11 in mind but the activities are designed for anyone to enjoy! Families who are interested can come pick up materials on May 16th at Johnson-Habitat Park between 10am - 12pm.
Thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, registration for this event is now full. Please check back on our website to stay up to date on future events as well as our Summer Learning SPREE program that will be launching shortly.

Brief history of some of the art projects along our waterways:
Art on the River is a great way you and your business can gain exposure while supporting art, Denver's Children, and the South Platte River.
In 2009, over 80 kindergarten through fifth graders helped local artist Emanuel Martinez create the first three panels of the Mile High Mural. The mural portrays the history of Denver’s waterways, beginning with a depiction of the Confluence Park area in prehistoric times. Thanks to the generosity of the friends of Dinosaur Ridge Museum, the first three panels will be installed and unveiled at this year’s event.
In 2011, Martinez joined us again to create a mural of Chief Little Raven. This mural commorates the history of Native American tribes living along the South Platte and Cherry Creek. As well, it is a mural representing the peace that Chief Little Raven advocated for.
