| Virtually everywhere you
turn in Durango, art catches the eye. Unlike most
cities, our’s is blessed by an abundance
of public artwork. Its most dramatic manifestation
is in the sculptures that have taken root on the
sidewalks of downtown, all over the Fort Lewis
College campus and in many of our city parks. They
range from realistic interpretations of people
and animals to abstractions encouraging deep thought.
Collectively, the works offer a glimpse into the
soul and history of a town that has long put a
value on works of art. |
