DENVER -- You don't necessarily need delegate-level credentials to participate in the Democratic National Convention in Denver, said Chris Lopez, Communications Director for the Denver 2008 Host Committee.

Several events and activities cater to members of the public during the DNC. From digital art exhibits, to roundtable discussions, to a tour of the oval office, Coloradans have the chance to have their own experience.

Some events are free, others aren't, and several require reservations.

"If I was sitting at home, I'd want to see the American Presidential Experience," Lopez said.

The largest traveling presidential memorabilia exhibit opens Aug. 22 in Lot D at Invesco Field at Mile High.

The collection features tours of Air Force One, a look at First Lady gowns and other historic pieces. Tickets range from $10 to $15 in price.

"That's actually the very first event to open as part of the official Convention activities," Lopez said.

Over at the Colorado Convention Center, a limited number of people can attend morning delegate breakfast briefings and other meetings as organized by the Democratic National Convention Committee.

A series of round table discussions will be taking place at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts.

The Rocky Mountain Roundtable, which runs Aug. 25 to Aug. 27 will feature topics ranging from health and wellness, poverty, education and retirement, Lopez said.

Looking to open your mind through digital art? The city of Denver’s Dialog:City brings together renowned artists and designers in 10 different displays across the city.

A group from the Rhode Island School of Design was hard at work assembling a gallery on climate change at the Denver Pavilions Monday.

"It's not about Democrats, it's about democracy, said Charlie Cannon, director of the climate change event called Partly Sunny.

“For us here at Partly Sunny the question is not about the party -- it's really about the planet," Cannon said.

Admittance to Partly Sunny is free, as are other Dialog:City exhibits.

Cannon said his crew is working with Denver-area students to have the exhibit ready by Friday.

"We've got a few sleepless nights ahead of us, we've got a little bit of excitement ahead of us, but we're moving quickly," Cannon said.
