Join the Art in Public Places Commission
The Art in Public Places Commission is comprised of an active group of volunteers who approve sites for public artwork, recruit volunteers to participate on Selection Panels, send out calls to artists locally, regionally and nationally and work with the AIPP Administrator through the entire process of selection to installation of public artwork.

Opportunities for Community Involvement
Shock Art 2024
Shock Art is an Art in Public Places program that relies on the opinions of the public as well as the creativity of local artists to enhance the “otherwise blah” green switchgear boxes around the City!
Shock Art 2024 submissions are now closed. Public voting has concluded and selected artists are currently in painting.
Click here to learn more about the program and community voting this year.
If you are an artist and would like to be added to the mailing list for notification of call to artists, email the AIPP administrator.
*Note – the program has updated the qualification requirements to encourage a diverse artwork selection. Artists commissioned as part of Shock Art will have to wait until the following year to submit a new work. Example – artists commissioned to paint in 2023 will sit-out 2024 and may submit a new design in 2025.
Selection Panels
The Art in Public Places Commission often seeks community members to volunteer to assist in the selection of public artwork. Typically, this opportunity would require committing to 1-4 evenings over a three month period. No special criteria are required; however, we encourage community members who are willing to express and discuss their opinions about artwork and are familiar with at least some of the artwork in Longmont’s public art collection to apply. Must be Longmont residents to qualify.
