\nNew Public Art in the Historic Downtown
\n<\/h2>\n
\n

Glenwood Springs, Colorado, Nov. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Glenwood Springs, the historic, hot springs town is flying high with its newest public art \u2013 butterfly and angel wings!<\/i>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Glenwood Springs is a town known for its innovative offerings, including the world\u2019s largest mineral hot springs pool and America\u2019s only mountaintop theme park. The latest craze in the historic Colorado mountain town is public wing art. There are currently four sets of eye-catching wings tucked away in discrete areas of the downtown core. You will find them in alleyways and on historic buildings.<\/p>\n

\n Wings Inspiration<\/b>\n <\/p>\n

The wings idea came from a local business owner who wanted to find a way to move people throughout the downtown shopping district creatively. Chrissy\u00a0Lee-Manes of\u00a0Homsted, a natural lifestyle retail store, said she came up with the wings concept to help revitalize and beautify some of the less visited places in the downtown core. \u201cThe wings not only give people a fun reason to explore,\u201d she said, \u201cthey also offer our visitors a way to take home a piece of their\u00a0Glenwood Springs experience.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Chrissy\u2019s idea took flight when the Glenwood Springs Downtown Development Authority (DDA) funded the project. \u201cThere are currently four sets of wings throughout the downtown and another three to four in the works,\u201d said DDA executive director, Laura Kirk. \u201cWe are so appreciative of Chrissy\u2019s vision and leadership in helping to make this project a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

The DDA has collaborated with the City of Glenwood Springs and the Glenwood Springs Chamber Resort Association (GSCRA), to get the word out about the new public art. \u201cThese colorful wings are just one way to promote the whimsy of our community,\u201d said Lisa Langer, director of tourism promotion for Visit Glenwood Springs, the tourism department of the GSCRA. \u201cI see people taking photos daily at the various sites, as if they are taking flight. It\u2019s a great way to effortlessly help people add joy to their day.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
