Chalk artist performance debuts Toys exhibit at History Colorado

Stop by The History Colorado Center at 1200 Broadway this morning to watch multi-media artist Kyle Banister demonstrate his skill in chalk as a prelude to the opening Saturday of the traveling exhibit Toys of the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s.

Referred to as “Papa Bat” because of his love of baseball, Banister will draw in chalk Miss Piggy in her Pink Cadillac, one of the pieces in the museum’s own toy collection, on the front plaza of the HCC.

Denver is the first city to receive the TOYs exhibit from its home base at the Minnesota History Center, where the exhibit was originally developed.
