5/20/2017

 
Denver Public Art tours return for the 2017 summer with new sites, additional architectural focuses, and more tours offered than ever before.
 
New tour sites include Union Station, Denver International Airport (DEN), and the Denver Public Library/Denver Art Museum campus.
 
“We are excited to have widened our scope in terms of the variety of public art tours we’re offering this season,” says Denver Public Art Program Administrator Brendan Picker. “Thanks to our dedicated docents, both new and returning, we have about 14 different tours this year, from the classic Cherry Creek Mural and the Downtown Denver Bicycle tours, to the newly added Union Station History and Public Art Tour.”
 
Denver Public Art and DEN have added airport art tours this summer on Fridays, June 2, July 7 and Aug. 4, noon. This tour will highlight some of the insider secrets and behind-the-scenes stories of the airport’s art collection, one of the largest in the country.
 
Saturdays, June 10 and 24, July 8 and 22, and Aug. 12 and 26, 10 a.m., bring the new Union Station History and Public Art Tour. This tour will not only explore the art in the newly renovated Union Station, but will highlight some of the history of the building and its surrounding area.
