Call for Artists: Colorado 150 Pedestrian Walkway

Statewide Call for Artists from the Office of Governor Polis: Colorado 150 Pedestrian Walkway

Governor Polis in partnership with the Office of Economic Development and International Trade’s Colorado Creative Industries opened up submissions for local artists to integrate  their work in the Colorado 150th Pedestrian Walkway. Artists should submit their work by April 1st, 2025. 

“What better way to highlight Colorado artists and our communities than with a walkable art experience that highlights our state's history and future, while also increasing pedestrian safety and walkability. I look forward to seeing this amazing walkway come to life and create an exceptional experience for Coloradans and visitors alike,” said Governor Polis. 

The Colorado 150 Pedestrian Walkway represents a public-private partnership led by the  Governor’s Office and the P3 Office at the Colorado Department of Personnel & Administration alongside History Colorado. Serving as a new gateway into revitalized Downtown Denver, the initiative aims to tell the story of Colorado’s 150 years while further re-energizing and highlighting the Civic Center area, including renovations to Denver Central Library, Denver Art Museum upgrades, the new Populus hotel, the future 5280 Trail, Civic Center Next 100: Greek Theater + Central Promenade and the McNichols Building.
