ANTIQUES ROADSHOW: Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms
Preserving the Past, One Note at a Time
Celebrating the Colorado connection to the three-part Colorado edition of Antiques Roadshow, filmed at Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms, I wanted to showcase a local collector alongside their collection.
Brian Stevenson, owner of Rocky Mountain Music Repair, was thrilled to show off his collection of rare and unique brass instruments (alongside his amazing musical chops!).

BEAT BOX: Sharing local music history, elevating local artists
KUVO Jazz and THE DROP are collaborating for an exciting new project!
Funded by the Denver Arts and Venues P.S. You Are Here (PSYAH) grant program, Beat Box is a community art project that aims to showcase Denver’s vibrant past and present music scene, and to elevate local artists through the creation of six utility box murals near the Buell Public Media Center.
Each mural will feature a portrait of a prominent historical or active Denver musician, and each will also include a QR code linking the public to a dedicated project webpage with information about the musician and audio and/or video recordings of that artist.
Learn more about this project and the other PSYAH 2024-2025 Grantees here.
