ART IN PUBLIC PLACES PROGRAM
Contributing to Vail’s identity, the Town of Vail’s Art in
Public Places (AIPP) Program was officially adopted in 1992
to “promote and encourage the development and public
awareness of fine arts.” The ordinance adopting the AIPP
Program and establishing an AIPP Board was based on the Art
in Public Places Program Policies and Guidelines adopted in
July of 1989. 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.

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. Create an exceptional and diverse public art collection.
2. Integrate public art throughout the Town of Vail.
3. Engage the community with memorable and
meaningful public art experiences.
4. Sustain funding for the AIPP Program.
The Town of
Vail Art in Public
Places Program
creates a diverse
and meaningful
public art
experience to
engage the
community and
enhance the
cultural vitality
of Vail.
