In the 1980s, the Longmont City Council passed an ordinance allowing and promoting large-scale public artworks - now more than 100 and counting - to be erected throughout town.
Keep an eye out for sculptures, landscape installations and murals that dot the Longmont landscape.
See this in action annually via Shock Art, during which talented artists paint on electrical boxes throughout town.
Longmont's Art on the Move program, active since 2005, enriches the city with rotating public art by regional artists in high-traffic locations. Each year, artists receive a stipend to display their pieces throughout the city, with new works showcased annually in areas like 4th Street and Kensington Park.
