VOCI PROJECTS
BACK ALLEY ART GALLERIES (BAAG)
ARCHAEOLOGY RESEARCH CLUB
Community History / Art & Story Telling
To date the Denver Skyland neighborhood has installed two resident-created Back Alley Art Galleries. These two installations brought a cross section of neighbors together to create beautiful focal points of neighborhood pride.
This second phase of the project introduced the history of properties through an Archaeology Research Club
History inspires us to look back at the past and find things that inspire us to do great things for other people, places and things. Youth learn the importance of community historic research preserving a portion of their neighborhood's contribution to the city's growth. These discoveries are transformed into interactive educational art utilizing computer coding technology.
