From 2017-2019, The Larimer Senior Group and Artist John Peña collaborated on a temporary work of public art. The project, “Larimer Stories,” consisted of an exterior display structure with removable text that changed every two weeks. The text shared stories from the oldest residents in Larimer about their lives in the neighborhood. Each story unfolded over a series of months while the seasons framed the gradually paced narrative.
