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.
