Ha-no-oo Star Calendar
Scott Parsons
Dedication Date: 1997

A 500-square-foot granite mosaic walkway. "Ha-no-oo" is the Arapahoe word for "galaxy." Just as the stars are used for navigation, artist Scott Parsons relates the light rail station as "a metaphor for navigation." The mosaic itself represents the 10,000-year history of native migrations as displayed in the night skies above Colorado, recorded in 21 indigenous languages. The mosaic walkway is adjacent to the light rail tracks.

Doing Your Dance in Denver
Atkinson Iconography Studio Limited
Dedication Date: 2007

An interactive light installation using sensors and light helps visitors perform their own "Dance of Denver." As a dancer operates the system, a variety of illustrations and slogans light up on the stainless steel mirror, providing amusement and faux guidance, whimsically defining the three areas of Denver dance: commerce, nature and sport. The installation is adjacent to the southbound boarding area.

The Welcoming Committee
Elaine Calzolari
Dedication Date: 1997

These three modernistic granite monuments were created, in part, from sculptures salvaged from demolished buildings. Some of the main components include materials from an old mausoleum, fragments from granite quarries and other architectural remnants. Ms. Calzolari's vision for this sculpture was to inject humor and add the stamp of humanity in an almost sleek, manufactured environment. The sculptures stand in the island south of the bus gates.
