303 ArtWay

As a consultant to the 303 ArtWay project, a multi-modal art themed 9 mile transportation and bike lane system, I conducted art centered community engagements, impromtu conversations on the street, stakeholder meetings, and events with residents of the Park Hill Neighborhood in Denver CO. The goal was to understand the community’s vision for an art-themed, multi-modal urban trail connecting paved walkways and bike paths through the Park Hill Neighborhood with a larger vision to expand through the city.

The trail will highlight the visionaries, artists, leaders, and community activists who have brought so much life to this unique and diverse neighborhood and will function to knit together geographically diverse neighborhoods through the capacity building and stewardship methods that are fundamental to the project process.

Several community art events made space for neighbors of all ages to come together to discuss specific needs, wants and visions surrounding the proposed project. Centering the nieghborhood as the drivers of the project, every resident, 9-5 professional, and occassional visitor participated in informing design ideas, and processes.
