Go West Phase I, II, & III

Greeley Colorado Art in Public Places Program

An Accumulative Public City Art Project creates an educational signature fence illustrating Greeley's water development and respectfully accents the treasures located on the grounds of the 'Living History Museum', Centennial Village. The fence is an interplay of painted steel mural panels and thoughtfully spaced and artfully crafted steel fencing. Viewers can explore together imagery of Greeley’s water canal development and the local structures on the park grounds derived in some cases because of it. Project includes time line pavers, path-finding imagery and a new welcoming plaza creating 1,140 total linear feet of artful and functional fencing.

This phase continues with historic references related to Greeley’s water history and the Poudre River. Images were selected and approved with committee members and myself. Tourists from the region visit the fence daily and can now view 42 painted imagery panels. Phase III images include Robert & James fishing on the Poudre, Ditch #2, and the Parshal Flume.
