Area of Change
Channeling growth to older industrial areas, districts close to downtown, major arterial corridors, historical trolley routes or existing and planned light rail stops will benefit the City as a whole.

River North Art District (RiNo) includes an array of studio spaces, art galleries, wineries. While retaining its industrial roots, the RiNo neighborhood is fertile ground for arts and artists. The Sunrise and Sunset Pedestrian Bridge stretch across the South Platte River and railway, which are two major barriers of the area, are dedicated to promoting and supporting the people and businesses that reside in the area. They are made by recycled wood and train carriage on site to form visual interest and reserve industrial atmosphere.

Materials used in art processes are available as bridges toward understanding human connections. Healing happens when artist/client manipulate materials and explore physical properties of media. The feeling of construction synchronizes selfrenewal capacity. By transforming inner part to reality, people make art and art reflects life.
