Central Boulder is located in the heart of the city with boundaries roughly defined by Linden St. and Iris St. to the north, Folsom to the east, Boulder Creek to the south, and the foothills to the west.
Central Boulder projects are listed alphabetically by the artist’s last name:
Will Betke-Brunswick, Visual Artist
When zine festivals cancelled due to the pandemic, Will (cartoonist and zine-maker) decided to create a diary of comics chronicling the quarantine. The project brings humor and humility to hyperlocal experiences of those living near 13th St and High St in Central Boulder. Neighbors will receive a hand-drawn copy of the completed zine.
Don Cox, Visual Artist
Potter and longtime neighborhood resident, Don is creating a series of hand-thrown mugs to give to essential workers in the shopping center at Alpine/Broadway. These gifts honor his community members working on the front line and provides an opportunity for the artist to document their stories.
Emily Duffy, Poet
Courtney Giblin, Visual Artist
Tim Longhini, Visual Artist
