Color Field at Denver’s City Park & North x Northwest 2020 at Yellowstone Art Museum

Artists Sarah and Joshua Palmeri reimagined the drained lily pond at the historic DeBoer Waterway at Denver’s City Park in Color Field Denver. The colorful, immersive art installation with over 6,000 painted stakes is located north of 17th Avenue and south of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. The six uniquely shaped seedbeds of the old lily pond transform into abstract forms of lenticular colors, bringing attention to this underutilized area of City Park. The installation aims to recall the history and beauty of the pond area while building momentum for current plans to restore the historic area.

The artist’s partnered with City Park Friends and Neighbors as one of eleven recipients of Denver Arts & Venues 2019-20 P.S. You Are Here grant, a creative placemaking program that supports collaborative, community-led outdoor projects in Denver’s public spaces.
