Opening Exhibit Reception, Lessons Learned

On Thursday, September 2, 2010 from 5:30-8:00 pm join the youth from PlatteForum’s ArtLab, who collaborated with Metropolitan State College of Denver, Communication Design students, as they open their new exhibition Lessons Learned – A Denver Pop-Up Store.

This is a short-term retail exhibition that houses products—found objects—designed and packaged by the high school and college students. Personal narratives of each youth were woven into the design process, re-conceptualizing the products for the pop-up store.

The interactive exhibit invites the public to experience the products on display, share their own life stories, and offer lessons of their own. With multiple products ranging from vials of patience and “formitables”—oven mitts and chop sticks to help you take the hard road; there is a lesson for everyone to learn.

This is the second year ArtLab interns have collaborated with Metro State as part of the national initiative, Design Ignites Change. Proceeds from the sale of these products will support next year’s design partnership with Metro State.

Diggin’ for the Doggies!

The latest on the Railyard Dog Park?

The sprinkler system and all irrigation is now 100% complete as of Friday.  The Shade Sail structure and year long fabric canopy is up and ready to block the sun. The first round of engraved bricks, that our wonderful dog park supporters purchased, is due to arrive on Monday and will begin installation soon thereafter.  Also beginning on Monday, they will begin planting trees and spreading the cedar mulch and rock.  Once the picnic tables arrive they will be installed in the pavilion area and the pavestone pavers will be finished up around them.

Huge strides are being made and an opening date should be announced shortly!

We STILL need donations though and every little bit helps.  If you haven’t already, please click here to donate to Railyard Dog Park.

They’re Building Things Over There #31

So far, over 7,000 cubic yards of concrete have been poured to create six sections of the bus terminal floor.  And while work continues on the floor, the bus terminal walls have already begun to sprout up. Progress is being made over at Union Station and Rick has all the details and pictures to prove it.  Click here for the latest update.

New Personal Trainer

The Riverfront Athletic Club would like to welcome a new addition to our staff, Carlynn McCallum!  She will be assisting in many different aspects such as instructing classes and taking on clients, so you will have plenty of opportunities to meet and get to know her!

Carlynn has an extensive history in competitive athletics at an elite level. She played 4 years of Division 1 soccer at the University of Denver and each year was awarded a Varsity Letter. She continually participates in several charity races, along with marathons and triathlons.

Her philosophy when it comes to fitness is that your physical fitness is the building blocks to your life. How strong you are physically equates to how strong you can be in all other aspects of your life. Take the challenges and goals you conquer through fitness and apply them to every angle of your existence.

Be sure to stop and say hello and welcome her to our neighborhood!
