Adams County Awards Local Artist David Ocelotl Garcia Pecos Median Public Art Project

July 21st, 2026

Adams County awarded local artist David Ocelotl Garcia a $350,000 contract to design, fabricate, and install a sculpture series on Pecos Street in southwest Adams County with integrated community engagement.

This project is connected to the county’s recent Public Works infrastructure improvements, including the Pecos Street Widening Project completed in 2025. This major infrastructure project was a complete reconstruction and widening of Pecos from West 52nd Avenue to West 56th Avenue.

The open call for artists had over 150 applications and was juried by a unique artist selection panel made up of local community members, project stakeholders, and members of the Adams County Arts & Culture Commission, appointed by the board of county commissioners.

“Adams County is so excited to welcome David Ocelotl Garcia as the artist for this project,” said Kathy Henson, Vice Chair of the Adams County Board of Commissioners. “This is a great example of the county’s continued commitment to investing in our communities through roadway infrastructure and public art projects.”

The project concept will be inspired by the urban-industrial area that has a blend of a neighborhood with new and generational community members and industrial buildings and commerce, including the site of the Pecos Logistics Park. The heavy commuter line sees nearly a million people annually going between north Denver and southwest Adams County.

“I am honored to accept the award for the Pecos Median Sculpture Series in Adams County,” said David Ocelotl Garcia. “My art practice of Abstract Imaginism is rooted in energy and the exploration and expression of cultural identity. I’m especially excited to connect with the surrounding communities to share the energy of art and uncover stories of history, culture, and passion.”


 

El condado de Adams adjudica al artista local David Ocelotl Garcia el proyecto de arte público de la mediana de Pecos

El condado de Adams otorgó al artista local David Ocelotl García un contrato de $350,000 para diseñar, fabricar e instalar una serie de esculturas en Pecos Street, en el suroeste del condado de Adams, con participación comunitaria integrada.

Este proyecto está relacionado con las recientes mejoras de infraestructura de obras públicas del condado, incluido el Proyecto de ampliación de Pecos Street, completado en 2025. Este gran proyecto de infraestructura fue una reconstrucción completa y la ampliación de Pecos desde West 52nd Avenue hasta West 56th Avenue.

La convocatoria abierta para artistas tuvo más de 150 solicitudes y fue jurado por un panel único de selección de artistas compuesto por miembros de la comunidad local, partes interesadas del proyecto y miembros de la Comisión de Arte y Cultura del Condado de Adams, nombrados por la junta de comisionados del condado.

“El Condado de Adams está muy emocionado de dar la bienvenida a David Ocelotl Garcia como artista para este proyecto”, dijo Kathy Henson, vicepresidenta de la Junta de Comisionados del Condado de Adams. “Este es un gran ejemplo del compromiso continuo del condado de invertir en nuestras comunidades a través de proyectos de infraestructura vial y arte público”.

El concepto del proyecto se inspirará en la zona urbano-industrial, que combina un barrio con residentes de todas las edades, tanto nuevos como de toda la vida, con edificios industriales y locales comerciales, incluido el emplazamiento del Pecos Logistics Park. La pesada línea de cercanías ve a casi un millón de personas anualmente yendo entre el norte de Denver y el suroeste del condado de Adams.

“Me siento honrado de aceptar el premio a la Serie de Escultura Mediana de Pecos en el Condado de Adams”, dijo David Ocelotl García. “Mi práctica artística del imaginismo abstracto está arraigada en la energía y la exploración y expresión de la identidad cultural. Estoy especialmente emocionado de conectarme con las comunidades circundantes para compartir la energía del arte y descubrir historias de historia, cultura y pasión”.
