Untitled #19 (Pyro) at the Denver Art Museum, Sept 26
11 Sep 08 | Events
The Denver Art Museum (DAM) ignites Friday evening with Untitled #19 (Pyro), September 26 from 6 to 10 p.m. Gather with friends to make crafty coffee cozies, witness a molten iron pour and please your inner pyro at the last Untitled event of the 2008 series.
CU Denver’s visual arts department brings the flames to the DAM’s Martin Plaza. Set your eyes ablaze with a live iron pour and sculpture casting. Sculpture students heat the iron to liquefying temperatures and pour into casks. Fire and flames jump as the iron settles into the mold. Pours will happen throughout the evening.

Sign up for Wind Power!
02 Sep 08 | BA Announcements | Green Ideas
We currently get all the electricity used in the common areas of the Boutique Apartment buildings from wind power, instead of from coal. But if you’re currently paying an electric bill directly to Xcel Energy, why not consider helping us reach our goal of being 100% wind-powered, by having your apartment’s electricity come from wind? It’s easy and costs less than 50 cents a month, and the benefits are astounding.
Based on EPA Power Profiler statistics, buying one 100 kWh block of Windsource for a year has the following environmental benefits:
Carbon dioxide avoided: 2,449 lbs.
Miles not driven: 2,400
Trees planted: 1/3 acre
You can sign up easily online at Xcel’s web site, or contact our main office at 303.320.0966 for more information.
