The AIPP Board adopted its first Strategic Plan in 2001. The Board is composed of five community members appointed by the Vail Town Council. ART IN PUBLIC PLACES COLLECTION The town’s public art collection includes over 70 works ranging from paintings, sculptures, murals, playground elements, to site-specific integrated art. The collection includes works by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, Jesús Moroles, Bryan Hunt, Lamont Joseph White, to name a few. Often referred to as a “Museum without Walls”, the collection also includes a recent gift of sculptures by Lawrence Weiner, Preston Singletary, Jason Middlebrook, Brad Kahlhamer and Yoram Wolberger from the notable collection of Vicki and Kent Logan. Since 2019, 10 murals have been created by Colorado artists to enhance public spaces, highlighting a diversity of subject matter and style. AIPP also curates temporary installations in both the summer and winter seasons. STRATEGIC PLAN PROCESS In 2022, a thorough review of all existing AIPP governing documents was conducted. The 2001 AIPP Strategic Plan, the 1989 Program Policies and Guidelines and associated Town ordinances were examined with the AIPP Board and Coordinator. Interviews, work sessions and surveys were conducted with public representatives, stakeholders, and Town staff to assess recommendations for modifications, additions and/or deletions for the current and future AIPP Program. The 2001 Strategic Plan has benefitted the Vail Public Art program well. Since the time these original documents were drafted, public art program standards across the country have matured, as has the AIPP Program for the Town of Vail. 3 / INTRODUCTION Art in Public Places 2023–28 ABOUT VAIL At an elevation of 8,150 feet and incorporated in 1965, the Town of Vail is internationally known for its natural beauty, alpine environment, incomparable skiing, year- round recreation, and cultural activities. These characteristics attract a significant number of people to visit Vail throughout the year with many guests eventually becoming permanent residents. The founders of Vail planned the town with a vision to create a unique mountain town and vacation destination. Much of the success of Vail, as a resort and as a community, has been a direct result of their original concept. Above mural painted by Olive Moya ART IN PUBLIC PLACES 2023–2028 6 4 / INTRODUCTION Art in Public Places 2023–28 VI S I O N ST A T E M E N T ARTIST RESIDENCY STUDIO & PROGRAM The launch of the Artist Residency Studio and Program is a priority for AIPP. The proposed artist studio in Ford Park will provide a space for artists to create, demonstrate their processes, and engage with the community. The directives of the Artist Residency Program will be an addendum to this Strategic Plan and will continue to evolve as the program comes to fruition. STRATEGIC PLAN 2023-2028 This Strategic Plan outlines a new set of goals and objectives for the AIPP Program. Each goal has defined objectives and recommended action steps to accomplish within the five-year period. The recommendations also give guidance on funding options to achieve these goals. HOW TO USE THIS STRATEGIC PLAN This document is a living and evolving plan. The AIPP Board may adjust their priorities or add new action steps as opportunities present themselves. The AIPP Board may reference the Strategic Plan to develop annual goals and measure progress which can be synthesized in an annual report. STRATEGIC GOALS 1.
