It may come as a surprise to some that the Durango Botanic Gardens, located at the Durango Public Library, is host to one of the largest collections of outdoor art in Durango. Our collection of outdoor art encompasses a wide range of materials, including murals, ceramics, glass, metalwork and woodwork. We will present a video and slides of artwork in our gardens with many of the artists on hand to add more detail as to what inspired a particular piece, issues they may have encountered, etc. Following our in-library presentation, at approximately 5:15 pm, we will venture into the botanic gardens to inspect our outdoor art collection and visit with their creators.

Join Us! This event is a rare opportunity to visit some of the acclaimed artists in our region, many with a national following.
