Project Overview

The Office of Arts and Culture presents an ongoing series of temporary public interventions through the Experiments in Public Art program which serves as a city-wide laboratory expanding the potential of public art. Unlike a traditional public art commission, Experiments in Public Art projects are as much an experiment for the community as they are opportunities for artists to work within unconventional parameters. Participating artists are selected, in part, by incorporating concepts and materials that extend beyond the notion of traditional public art.

Experiments in Public Art: 2025 Lecture Series

The City of Boulder is launching an Experiments in Public Art Lecture Series, designed to foster conversations around artistic expression and creative processes in the city. Several of the lectures include a community workshop component, allowing attendees to experiment with their own creations.
