Art in Public Places
The Art In Public Places (AIPP) program in Longmont was established in 1989 and continues to expand the City’s permanent art collection in civic spaces and neighborhood parks, both old and new. Longmont’s public artwork collection is diverse in media and interpretation. Some artworks are closely tied to the history of Longmont, while others are purely whimsical. The goal is that each piece initiates thought and conversation by those who view it.
Mission statement: “To provide and manage a diverse collection of public art, and to promote art through education and outreach.” (as adopted May 2012)
Opportunities for Community Involvement
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 a Longmont resident to qualify.
Complete this online form to apply to be part of a selection panel. If you are unable to complete the form for any reason or have additional questions, please contact aipp@longmontcolorado.gov.
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.
Submit an application to join the AIPP Commission! Recruitment will be spring 2025.
