GJ UNION DEPOT | FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2025 | 5 - 9pm
|
Built 1906, the GJ Union Depot was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 and listed as one of Colorado's Most Endangered Places in 2010. Junction locals Veronica Sanchez and Dustin Anzures purchased the building in 2016 with plans to revitalize the space through adaptive re-use, restoring civic pride in the city's most iconic building.

Artists were given materials on the California Zephyr from the archives like vintage advertisements, history essays, and menus from the dining car to provide inspiration and context on their journey.

Westbound is an experimental artist residency inspired by the historic California Zephyr train that runs across the length of our state on its journey from Chicago to the San Francisco Bay. Westbound strengthens regional creative networks across Colorado and invites community connection through art, transportation, and human stories gathered and shared along the way.
