April 19-Nov. 30. Denver Botanic Gardens’ Urban Nature, the Gardens’ 2008 signature exhibition, explores the intersection of nature and urban culture. Art and horticulture are the tools city dwellers can employ to evoke the natural world as concrete and steel steadily encroach on our green space.

The exhibit will feature paintings from over a dozen street-style artists including internationally recognized Lady Pink, Mac, and Siloette. New York City activist Lady Pink has transitioned from painting subway trains in the 70s and 80s, to creating grand scale murals throughout New York City and lecturing at universities across the country. Phoenix-based Mac draws inspiration from the Mexican and Chicano culture of the American Southwest. Siloette, who currently resides in Los Angeles, is recognized mainly for her feminine subject matter, unique flowing style and organic ingredients.
