In Greeley, Colorado you can find murals splashed across downtown buildings, whimsical trees lining 8th Avenue, and stunning designs wrapped on our traffic cabinets. Public art is part of our city, and these designs aren't just random. They are part of an effort to beautify our city while providing a reflection of Greeley's culture and diversity.
The traffic cabinet mural project is highly accessible to emerging artists, offering a platform for their unique style, personality, and heritage.

New Sculpture Installed at Josephine B. Jones Park
A new sculpture, approved by the City of Greeley and the Art Commission, has been donated by a private citizen and was installed December 4 at Josephine B. Park, 2631 52nd Avenue (https://maps.app.goo.gl/fkcwgqfsg9tuQG4LA).
The park, which is sentimental to the donor’s family and friends, has not had new art in many years. The 11-foot-tall figurative bronze sculpture titled "Committed" was first created by artist Denny Haskew in 1994 with a limited edition of seven castings; one of which was purchased by the donor.
Haskew’s artwork conveys his innermost being. It is intensely personal and honest. His recurring themes are “spirit, love, forgiveness, healing, relationship, endurance, the sacredness of the human spirit, and the strength in each of us; the power of all that is natural.”
Watch for more information about a reception in 2024.
Haskew’s sculpture, "Committed," depicts a Native American – a member of the Dog Soldier Society, sometimes called a "Sash Wearer.” The bronze is newly installed at Josephine B. Jones Park, north of Highway 34.
