Art on the Move - City of Longmont Skip to main content

Every year since 2005, Longmont Art in Public Places has exhibited between three and ten works of art by regional artists in various locations throughout the City as the Art on the Move program. Each artist receives a $1,000 stipend for loaning their work, and residents and visitors of Longmont get to enjoy fresh artworks each year!

Artworks in Longmont’s Art in Public Places (AIPP) program are found all over our beautiful city. Downtown and Quail Campus have a special concentration of the AIPP collection. Historic photographs from the Museum are included on a variety of traffic cabinets around town. Every artwork has a story to tell, many of which use Longmont’s history to inform their function and form.
