Self-taught local artist Pat Milbery kicked off the “Love this City” mural series in tandem with the 10th anniversary of Denver Arts Week in 2016.

The sunshine that lifts his spirit on a daily basis, the collaboration within the creative community, having mountains close by, delicious green chile dishes and strong government and business support for public art.
