Thereâs no shortage of immaculate and meticulously curated art galleries here in Colorado Springs, but down on Royer Street â past a wastewater treatment plant, a cemetery and rows of warehouses â another kind of art space has been forming over the last two years.
Steve Wood, co-founder and director of Concrete Couch, a local nonprofit founded 18 years ago with a mission to create community art projects, describes Concrete Coyote as a kind of evolving art park, featuring everything from a giant metal hammer to a swing seat built out of old telephone poles.

New Zealand share prices ended weaker on light volume as investors grew pensive about the prospects of inflation and rising bond yields here and around the world. The S&P/NZX50 index finished at 12,564.21, down 75.85 points, or 0.6 per cent, on volume of 55.64 million shares, worth $201.98 million.
There were 96 falls and 51 rises.
Most of the big name stocks were weaker as concerns about US inflation took hold after US year treasury yields gained for the third day in a row. Local 10-year bond yields were at 1.81 per cent, the upper end of their recent 1.6 to 1.9 per cent band.

Pandemic screen time tops 6 hours a day for some kindergartners
Kindergartners from low-income families spent more than six hours a day in front of screens during two early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, a small Ohio study suggests.
That is nearly double the screen time found before the pandemic in similar children, according to other research.
Caregivers from low-income households may have faced more difficulties than those from more advantaged families in managing the time their children spent watching TV and using computers, phones and tablets when child care was shut down, according to the researchers.
Still, the results are concerning, said Rebecca Dore, lead author of the study and senior research associate at The Ohio State University’s Crane Center for Early Childhood Research and Policy.
