Intergenerational Mural


A Collaborative Project with the Society for Creative Aging, Horizons K-8 Alternative School and Columbine Elementary School


The CYE Center is partnering with the Society for Creative Aging, Horizons K-8 Alternative School and Columbine Elementary School in the creation of a mural for the entrance of the CYE Center. Elder artists are working with students to create a multi-dimensional representation of a child-friendly community. University of Colorado students are also participating. Concept mapping took place during the spring of 2007, followed by the creation of leaves for the Tree of Life, paintings and sneaker art.

The project is being installed in stages and is projected for completion in Spring 2009.

Funding is provided by the CU Outreach Committee and Lynda Simmons.
