We're going to run this 'nothing' town😁

We will have the paint! Anyone want to do a few lightpoles in the Pueblo Artery, maybe shadows of monsters or fairies or giants dancing around the lightpole's shadows-in pink or green or other? It would be fun to put down the steps to the waltz or other in collaboration with dancers. Now that there will be a "youth initiatives belly box" in Central Plaza and Bistoro has eyes/beautiful lighting (which needs to be hung yet), I am thinking the Artery really does need revival. The other ideas in the heart: a crimson-covered earth-couch and artful containers of strawberries. Let us brainstorm: and, please, go...

Art strikes the strongest when it catches you off guard, and that's exactly what a graphic artist Damon Belanger is aiming to do in Redwood City, California, where he's been tinkering with the shadows cast by the street objects, transforming them into these surreal scenarios.

Pueblo Murals. Once viewed as vandalism, street art has become the dominant voice of art in Pueblo. Great new article in the PULP written by Madison Gill on artist Mathew Taylor and his many projects which dot the Pueblo landscape.

Special THANKS to Brandon Blaize Ayala for the musical score, Mat Taylor for his commitment and dedication to public art, all of the ARTery artists who gave of their time and passion, all of the local merchants who have supported the grassroots public art effort, and last but not least the members of the Tact Crew who help keep the ARTery safe, clean and alive.

I was so pleased this week while conducting a walking tour of the ARTery when I discovered to my surprise the City of Pueblo filling in all the massive 'dinosaur footprints' (potholes) in the alleyways between 4th & 6th Streets. They have been an eyesore and a serious hazard for visitors on the ARTery and any service person using the alleyways to make deliveries. I plan to go back now that they are finished and photograph the results of their work. Thank you. GH

PARKVIEW MOBILE NURSES AND OUTREACH GROUP TO SERVE AS WELLNESS ADVOCATES AND SUPPORT THE PUEBLO ARTery WELLNESS STATIONS IN THE FUTURE

The Pueblo ARTery is a new kind of artwalk which offers visitors a unique Pueblo experience which blends art, history and culture with WELLNESS. Over the past year the ARTery has been working with the Parkview Mobile Nurses led by Terri Tibbs and their Outreach Group to strategically align wellness with the ARTery experience. Yesterday Gregory Howell led an ARTery Walking Tour for the Parkview Outreach Team and shared many of the new developments including plans for ARTery Phase II and Phase III which will traverse over the 4th Street Bridge to the Eastside, new art installations, the new mural on the Arts Center facade by local artist Mathew Taylor and new plans to develop wellness stops and stations along the ARTery. The first wellness station is scheduled to open on 2nd Street between Santa Fe Ave and N Main St. The PuebloARTery.com website is full of maps, information and wellness tips to ensure a healthy and exciting walk in Downtown Pueblo.

Special thanks to Parkview Hospital, Parkview Mobile Nurses and Parkview Outreach Group for making wellness a integral part of the Pueblo ARTery experience.

In honor of the special Downtown Colorado Inc workshop on the ARTery Experience in Pueblo, we started the installation of the mural panel by local artist Sarah Ryder from the Mural & Mojitos event at Cup & Cork. It is located on the ARTery just down from the Bear on Central Plaza and near the gifted mural by Los Angeles artist and creative Ben Warwas. We will add this to the website, Google Map and Mobile App.

We have new installations called HOME by The Poet Spiel and a special Sierra Club mural by artist Ivy Carter.

This is Pueblo.
