CO Mills and 40 West Arts District are two iconic Lakewood West Colfax destinations. Their artistic partnership continues through 2019 and into 2020 with the addition of new murals, art installations and more.

Artist Julia Williams, who also goes by the name Designosaur, just finished a mural called ‘Winter Bloom’ and located near the Nike Factory Store. This colorful piece combines large-scale flowers with 3D elements. Additionally, CO Mills has turned over Hallway 4 ½ (located between entrances four and five) into a permanent exhibition space.

A number of artists recently filled the walls with colorful flowers of all types, for an installation that will run through Spring of 2020. Both of these artistic elements remind patrons that during the upcoming winter months, CO Mills is a place to come inside from the cold for light, vibrancy and fun.

40 West Arts Executive Director Liz Black describes the partnership in more detail saying, “CO Mills approached us because they understand the importance of art and how it adds to and activates a space. It’s such a forward-thinking, modern and collaborative approach and we are 100% on board. It’s about bringing art to the places that people are already going to, such as an active shopping destination.”

Patrons can look for additional art installations now and through 2020 including a 22-foot metal dinosaur sculpture created by artist Greg Wasil (perfect for kids & families) and visible in CO Mills through the holiday season.
