DENVER, CO — July 25, 2013 — Denver International Airport (DIA) is hosting a temporary art exhibition throughout August to celebrate the third USA Pro Challenge race in Colorado, which will take place August 1925. DIA, VISIT DENVER and race organizers have joined together once again to bring airport visitors a bicyclethemed art exhibition. A group of up-and-coming local artists, enlisted by Ivar Zeile of the Plus Gallery, created works of art using bicycles as their canvasses. The art exhibit will be displayed on top of baggage carousels, located on the east and west sides of the Jeppesen Terminal (Level 5).
Artists featured in the exhibit include Eric Ringsby, Thomas Scharfenberg, Kristin Stransky Mallinger and Audrey Seiler, Cultivator/New Belgium, Tobias Fike, Dmitrius Obergfell, Tank Studios, Stacey and Winston Schultz, and Pure Brand Communications. Each bicycle represents one of the cities the USA Pro Challenge will visit during the seven day tour: Aspen/Snowmass, Breckenridge, Steamboat Springs, Beaver Creek, Vail, Loveland, Fort Collins and Denver. At the end of the exhibit, the bicycles will be auctioned to benefit local charities.
“Denver International Airport is proud to support Colorado artists and the USA Pro Challenge,” said Manager of Aviation Kim Day. “The airport is a gateway for more than 53 million passengers each year and is home to one of the most robust art programs of any airport in the country so collaborating with the local art community and race organizers is a journey we are exhilarated to participate in again.”
