Meet the artists and organizers behind the exhibition “Young Artists Envision Boulder’s Future Civic Area,” on view through Aug. 27 on the Arapahoe Ramp outside of the children’s area. Growing Up Boulder (GUB) partnered with 11 Boulder High School’s National Art Honor Society (NAHS) students to gather youth recommendations for the future Civic Area space. After introducing the city project, goals and timeline to students, GUB facilitated a walk audit to understand how these teens currently use and feel in the space. After group sharing of the audit experience, GUB staff engaged BHS art students in envisioning the future space. Over several months, artists began thinking, sketching and writing about what they most wanted to see the reimagined space look and feel like. Students created a final art piece for their NAHS class to represent their vision for the future. calendar.boulderlibrary.org.
