Event Details
This tour covers a broad array of historical and contemporary public artworks in Denver. Beginning with the classic 20th century bronze sculptures of Alexander Proctor's On the War Trail and Broncho Buster, as well as the intriguing landscape and architecture of Civic Center Park.
From 'Cowboys and Indians' to a big red chair with a miniature horse, this tour displays the evolution of public art in and around Denver's Civic Center. Tours will be led by docent Paul Pelegrin.
Tours are free and open to the public, but spaces are limited, so please RSVP to reserve your place.
Tours meet at McNichols Civic Center Building, 144 W. Colfax Ave.
