What are the names of the sculptures outside of the Denver Performing Arts Complex?
The Denver Performing Arts Complex is home to some of Denver’s most recognizable pieces of public art. At the intersection of Speer Boulevard and Champa Street, two tall white figures dance in the Sculpture Park. Jonathan Borofsky’s Dancers was commissioned in 2003 by the Mayor’s Commission on Art, Culture and Film. Music composed and performed by Borofky and Samuel Conlogue plays at the base of these 60-foot fiberglass and steel dancers and can be heard by visitors to the park. Columbian artist, Fernando Botero, has two pieces on the Denver Performing Arts Complex Galleria. Near the Temple Hoyne Buell Theatre, Botero’s Man and Woman have watched over the crowds of theatre goers since 1998. These 13-foot-tall bronze sculptures are perfect examples of Botero’s characteristically plump figures. Infinite Energy is a bronze sculpture created by Mexican artist, Victor M. Contreras in 1980 and restored in 2005. Its home is under the glass archway of the Denver Performing Arts Complex Galleri
