The talk is included with admission; please register in advance. Register Palec brings the Golden Triangle to life in his signature storytelling style — a wildly detailed, black-and-white illustration packed with movement, humor, and hidden gems. From bikers and musicians to iconic Denver landmarks, Joe’s art captures the energy and layered personality of our creative community — where art spills into the streets, and inspiration meets everyday life. Look closely, and you’ll find the pulse of the neighborhood: the museums and murals, the makers and dreamers, the people who make this district thrive. Every line tells a story of collaboration, connection, and community. Proceeds from the poster sales benefit the GTCD, the Still, and the artist. Denver-based artist Joe Palec was selected from a pool of inspiring submissions from across the region. His work is known for its playful, maximalist style—rich with color, detail, and hidden gems for locals to discover. With a decade of connection to the neighborhood—working, creating, and exploring—Palec brings both technical craft and personal insight to the piece.
