Check Out Denver's 3 New Public Art Pieces On Display

Denver Arts & Venues announced three new pieces have been added to the Denver Public Art collection, reports 9NEWS.

Two pieces are on display at Denver Public Libraries' Smiley Branch and Byers Branch. The other piece is installed at Denver's Paco Sanchez Park.

"We love our Denver Public Library system and can’t wait for all branches to reopen," said Public Art Program Manager Michael Chavez. "These two new additions, plus the fantastic and fitting tribute to Paco Sanchez by Carlos Frésquez, are perfectly suited to each site and I’m excited for residents to discover them."

A Life Cycle Story by Maureen Hearty from Joes, Colorado is a sculpture of steel screen panels and can be found near the south-facing exterior of the Smiley Branch Library.

Time is a Friend of the Future, Not an Enemy of the Past by Valerie Savarie of Denver is a large clock made out of vintage encyclopedia sets and can be found hanging over a fireplace mental at Byers Public Library.

Que Viva Paco by Carlos Frésquez of Denver honors Francisco "Paco" Sanchez. He launched Denver's first Spanish radio station in 1954. The sculpture is made of three stainless-steel disks that look like records painted the colors of the Mexican flag. The piece can be found at Paco Sanchez Park by West 13th avenue and Knox Court.
