Happy Clouds-Mental Health Center of Denver's Dahlia Campus for Health and Well-Being

Originally released into the sky by Stuart Semple during London’s 2008 recession, Happy Clouds are smiley-face bubble sculptures, that when released with helium, drift amid public spaces. This iconic artwork has exhibited outside the Tate Modern in London, as well as in Dublin, Moscow, Australia, and Milan. Intended to cheer people up, Happy Clouds will be launched at over a dozen sites across the Denver-metro area from Red Rocks to Denver Public Library Branches. These fleeting, environmentally-friendly Happy Clouds will float outdoors, interrupting daily life and reminding all to be in the present moment.
