On Friday, August 18, Denver artists will begin creating murals on blank spaces along the I-70 viaduct as part of 'duct-work 2. Although the controversial I-70 expansion project would eliminate the viaducts, these artists, the Denver Arts and Skills Center, and other partners remain steadfast in their mission to paint the corridor.
