Placemaking
Placemaking is essential to the mission and vision of 40 West Arts District. Placemaking transforms the surrounding physical landscape, increases community pride, builds a sense of place and creates visual markers for visitors and residents alike.

Public Art
Public art is essential to our placemaking approach. Through our public and private partnerships, our collaborations with local businesses and our many programs including COLorFAX, Colfax ArtFest, the 40 West ArtLine and others we strive to add pop, color and creativity to the Lakewood West Colfax corridor through public art.

40 West Artline
The 40 West ArtLine is more than a free outdoor art gallery. This expansive project adds extensively to a sense of place in Northeast Lakewood through its 70+ art installations, wayfinding Art Totems, ground murals, branded ‘Kaleidoscope Crossings’ and the painted green line that runs through it all.
