Project Description Art on the Move started in Longmont in 2005 and provided an opportunity for the City to "borrow" artwork from local (Colorado) artists for one year to be displayed throughout the City.
Artwork The Art in Public Places Commission is seeking a variety of unique and original artwork in diverse media. All artwork must be size/scale appropriate; work will be installed on the various bases/pedestals as described and must be “transportable” after the 12-month period. Artwork must be appropriate for outdoor public display, and will not be considered if any offensive, religious, or political messages may be interpreted. Note: Longmont loves interactive artwork!
The selection panel will consider the following criteria in its review of submitted artwork: appropriateness, durability, uniqueness, compatibility with site, and safety. The AIPP Commission is seeking quality work that is durable and can handle extreme weather conditions, which may include intense sunlight, high winds, and freezing temperatures mixed with ice and snow. “Sunlight” or “exposure” considerations will not be made for individual pieces that might fade. Artists may submit work that is complete and available or work to be fabricated before the installation date of July, 2017. Artwork may be available for sale and will be referenced as such on the City’s AIPP website.
Art we love:
• Interactive artwork, especially artwork that can be appreciated by all ages and with different artistic preferences.
• Various media. We have a number of pedestals, but may be able to acquire wall space for two dimensional artwork (exterior).
• Light installations or work requiring “air” space. We have several areas that could be utilized between two buildings.*
• Creativity
• We love functional artwork – seating element? Dog parking spot?
Art that will not work:
• “fragile” artwork
• "interior" artwork
• Water features
Location location location!
All of the TWELVE (12) sites will be in Longmont's Downtown Creative District this year!
Longmont was recognized as a Colorado Creative Industry "Creative District" in 2015. Art in Public Places is thrilled to partner with the Longmont Downtown development Authority as well as the many creative businesses and organizations in this area to enhance and support this effort and provide public artwork to the community and the many visitors!
