Nederland
In Nederland, the Fairy Garden is our proof of life after enduring the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s an ecosystem that relies on help from its community to maintain its well-being. From the soil packed into the glass to the enchanting villages living on top of it, the existence of this cube was made possible by a large group of Nederland neighbors, friends, and artists.

In Lafayette, our 90s phone booth creates a collective ritual to capture the oral history of the past few years and offer a communal experience that lends a listening ear for our stories, allowing us to live with them and find new narratives.
In Longmont, the installation focuses on stories gathered from the pandemic—living memories that capture this exact moment in time. Some stories are free form, others scripted. Some are about hope, some are about loss and grief. Have a seat in Grandma’s nook. Pick up the phone, see who is on the other line, and take a moment to be part of someone else’s memory.
Hear from your neighbors
This message is anchored by the oral histories gathered from every facet of our county. Do you have a story to share from the pandemic? We would love to hear it!
