Aurora neighborhood embraces community through art

Community members speak out about their lived experiences in Aurora amid national spotlight 02:34

A neighborhood just south of DIA has guests going out of their way to visit – and they’re welcomed. The same can’t be said about every part of the same city. The Aurora Highlands isn’t just about residential development; it’s a holistic approach to community living.

The area’s art draws visitors from all over the country, even bringing travelers out of the airport during layovers. Thoughtfully curated installations are being placed throughout the development, and they’re available for public to view.

Carla Ferreira, an Aurora Highlands developer, says she loves making Aurora more beautiful. CBS Colorado caught up with her painting near a storm drain in the new development.

“We love it here. It’s beautiful. We have epic sunsets, the most beautiful sunrises,” she said, emphasizing the warmth and camaraderie of the community.

She says Art in the Park encourages creativity, positivity and community.
