Art in Vail

The Art in Public Places (AIPP) program is one of many culturally oriented programs in the Vail Valley. The intention of the program is to assemble a collection of works of art in public places which is educational, attractive to residents and guests, and of an overall aesthetic quality equal to the excellent international reputation the town enjoys as a resort. The Town’s public art collection includes over 45 works ranging from painting, sculptures, murals, playground components, to site-integrated art. A full color printed map of Vail’s public art collection is available at the Vail Village and Lionshead Welcome Centers and the Vail Public Library. There is also an interactive map at www.artinvail.com.

: Boulder of Hands; Located in Bighorn Park From the artist's blog dated 2015: "This simple project was one of my first publicly commissioned works that consisted of a granite boulder taken from a troublesome area of Gore Creek, in Vail, Colorado. I placed it in a park and etched the hands of local children into its surface after polishing it as well. Nearly 10 years later this has even more depth for me as my children now get to visit this park with me."
