What WAs the Happy City?
Happy City Denver was a six-week, citywide art intervention that took place in Denver from May 18 through June 30, 2018. The project’s purpose was to break down personal, emotional, and social barriers, while nurturing individual and collective well-being through art and related programming.
The project brought together 7 artists’ perspectives with art installation sites located throughout Denver, including streets, alleyways, billboards, video screens, and various other sites across the Metro Area. The project was initiated by British artist Stuart Semple, produced by the Denver Theatre District, and art directed by Black Cube. The project paid homage to Canadian journalist Charles Montgomery’s influential publication “Happy City.”
