DENVER — Authorities are investigating after a fire destroyed a public art installation in Civic Center Park on Wednesday morning.
The artwork, known as the Tree of Transformation, consists of a piano with a metal structure branching overhead.
The Denver Fire Department said it is investigating the incident with the Denver Police Department and Denver Parks and Recreation.
The Civic Center Conservancy said the artwork was the first part of its “Art in the Park” installation.
“We are grateful for the outpouring of support from the Denver community and the hard work of Denver Parks and Recreation, the Denver Police Department and the Denver Fire Department in responding to these horrible incidents in our beloved National Historic Landmark,” the conservancy said on its Facebook page.
