SHOT 9/24/13 2:50:57 PM - A large mural will be a centerpiece for the new Marriott Renaissance Hotel in downtown Denver, Co. Formerly the Colorado National Bank Building the building closed in 2007 and has been sitting abandoned since. The murals depicting scenes of local Native American life were painted in the 1920s by Allen Tupper True, one of Colorado's most famous artists. The murals are watercolors on canvas, attached to the walls of the building which was designed in a Neoclassical architecture style. In addition to the murals in the hotel's lobby, supplemental works from Colorado artists will be prominently displayed - creating a defacto art museum. The Denver Urban Renewal Authority, a city government agency, provided funding for the art as part of its 'Project Art' initiative. It is scheduled to open in December 2013.
