Art In Public Places

Art in Public Places is dedicated to enhancing the Longmont landscape by providing a diverse public art collection. Walk, bike or drive around town to appreciate each of the 75+ pieces of permanent artwork that dot our city with color, surprise and uniqueness. Longmont’s Art in Public Places Program is funded through a one percent levy on most capital improvement projects of more than $50,000.

Some standout pieces include the "Spirit of Longmont" mural, which embodies the city's dynamic and diverse character, and the eclectic "Shock Art" project, where local artists transform ordinary utility boxes into eye-catching works of art. These installations reflect Longmont's quirky and inclusive personality, inviting residents and visitors alike to engage with the city's cultural fabric on every corner​.

For those specifically interested in murals, there is an excellent walking tour of murals around town.

Art on the Move, which debuted in 2005, allows local artists to create temporary art installations featured around town. For a complete map of art installations, consult the City of Longmont Bike Map.
