Session Descriptions from Redline:
Session 1: May 30, June 6, June 13, and June 20
Led by artists Ashley Frazier and Michael Sperandeo
The first session features community artists Ashley Frazier and Mike Sperandeo with their interactive basketball sculpture. Any person that wants to be involved in the creation of this piece is invited to try and score a basket with a balloon filled with non-toxic, washable paint. Not only is throwing paint at things as fun as it seems, but the colorful surface of the sculpture that results from repeated attempts shows that every time you try, it has an impact. Even if you don’t always reach your intended goal, the result can still be worthwhile!
Session 2: June 27, July 4, July 11, July 18
Led by artist Christine Dart
Dance instructor Christine Dart will help participants to tell stories about their neighborhood with dance, theatre and play. Over the four weeks, children and their families will be able to create a story-telling dance piece that they can perform together. Don’t worry if you aren’t a great dancer – this project is more about having fun while expressing yourself and learning others’ stories than it is about getting the steps perfect. Participants are encouraged to attend as many dates as possible, as each one is different and offers the chance to practice and build on what was done the previous week.
Session 3: July 25, August 1, August 8, August 15
Led by artist Tracy Tomko
Community artist Tracy Tomko presents her project, “Prototypes to Increase Exuberance” features objects modified in ridiculous ways to be swung, twirled and bounced. The silly, awkward way in which they are used serves as a method to deal with uncomfortable emotions. As a part of this interactive performance, participants are encouraged to work with the artist to create their own unusual objects to use, with their own symbolism and solutions to their own adversities.
Session 4: August 15, August 22, August 29, September 5
Led by arist Risa Murray
Community artist Risa Murray will help the neighborhood to put on a puppet show. From deciding on a story from the Five Points/Whittier/Curtis Park area’s rich and diverse cultural past to making the puppets and sets and finally performing and watching the show as a community, this fun experience will have children and families working and learning together.

If the weather is cloudy and not suitable for viewing with the observatory’s telescope, there is a reduced $1 per-person entry fee to the observatory. In addition to touring the observatory, the monthly open houses are a great time to interact with members of the DAS and get answers to questions about your telescope (feel free to bring your scope to set up outside of the Observatory as many DAS members do) or anything you see in the sky!

Wednesday, July 22 – Max Hatt/Edda Glass

Whiskey Folk’s “folk noir” blends ominous, reverb-dripping guitars with boot-stomping train beats and funereal horns to create sonic backdrops for down-on-your-luck ballads and beer-soaked anthems. Presented by Arts Brookfield, Summer on the Plaza is just one of the exciting, world-classcultural experiences presented to hundreds of thousands of people for free each year atBrookfield’s properties around the globe, which include 1801 California and Republic Plaza, located in downtown Denver.

The museum also features a retrospective of Colorado’s distinguished painter Vance Kirkland (1904–1981), and one of the most important public displays of international decorative art in North America from Arts & Crafts to Postmodern.

Human Walking Program with Denver Animal Shelter
2015-08-04 10:00 - 14:00 | Popups Example
Can you imagine what it is like to be chained to a desk with nothing but a mouse for entertainment? What must it be like to be kept in a tiny box and ignored for eight hours a day? For many downtown office workers this is their day-to-day life. The Denver Public Library and Denver Animal Shelter are teaming up to help these needy office workers break the shackles of sedentary, corporate life. Come and see big-hearted, friendly adoption dogs rescue loving people and take them for a walk. They’ll even take you out for a spin – that’s how much these dogs care about you! (DPL Fresh City Life)
Location: North Lawn at 14th Avenue and Broadway
