Sidewalk Poets is very excited to announce the new writing/art installation project–The East Colfax StoryWalk! Over the past year, Sidewalk Poets has been hosting creative writing workshops in the East Colfax neighborhood, and will showcase these poems in art installations throughout the area–on signs and electrical box wraps on street corners and parks–in multiple languages and some with audio recordings via QR codes.
On Sept. 4, Sidewalk Poets is hosting a communal walk/roll to experience the walk together. The event will feature live readings from StoryWalk authors, as well as guided writing prompts. We’ll walk at a leisurely pace for a 2.5 mile loop, pausing to read and write. Wheelchairs, walkers, strollers are welcome. The walk departs McNichols Park at 10 a.m. Come out and join us,
The StoryWalk is supported by Denver Arts & Venues through the P.S. You Are Here program. Sidewalk Poets would also like to thank our sponsors, RiNo Sign Works, CHFA, Denver CALC, and artists Eileen Roscina and Buenas Causes Studio.
