IMAGINE 2020 Speaker Series: Art & the City
November 5, 2015 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
In adaptable and humor-filled talks, Shawn Micallef uses striking examples from his extensive travels to cities around the world to show us why and how cities can be great. With grace, wit, and counterintuitive thinking, Micallef touches on local economies, public space, art and architecture. Micallef leaves audiences with a new appreciation of—and a clutch of practical solutions for—cities around the world, as well as their own.
Join Denver Arts and Venues for an inspiring morning of city-building and idea generation, and discovering new ways to stimulate our community.
