When the Democratic National Convention hits Denver in a couple weeks, conventioners will find quite a bit to look at in the streets around them. That's because there are dozens of politically charged art events happening in the area, the Denver Post reports.

Dialog:City is one of the main organizers of the events, which are scheduled to run from August 21st to the 29th. The aforementioned Convention Karaoke, an installation of portraits of Iranians by photographer Tom Loughlin, sculptures made of recycled materials by Julia Karll and as showing of Terra Nova: The Antarctica Suite by DJ Spooky are just a few of the planned projects and performances.

A similar campaign of artistic commentary -- and not a little bit of protest -- is planned around the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis, including a parade and a pretty good looking concert. Plenty of ways to get involved, no matter what your political stripe.
