What happened

Fort Collins can always count on a big crowd at the town’s annual art week, but this year they’re going bigger, with an expanded lineup and a broader geographical reach.

Why it matters

We’ve also got First Friday art walks all over the state, Cinco de Mayo celebrations and a social gathering in Denver for those looking for platonic connections.

Common ground

The Downtown Development Authority, which has produced Fort Collins Art Week for the past four years, handed the event over to FC Mural Project, opening the doors to new people, places and partnerships.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
