A new series of site-specific public art prototypes are soon to be developed for the University Hill neighborhood. This project is a collaboration with the University of Colorado Environmental Design Program.
About the Neighborhood
University Hill is a destination for both college students and for the entire Boulder community. The commercial district includes many historic icons, a vibrant music scene, varied dining options, and an eclectic housing mix. University Hill is a dynamic environment, and these temporary public art projects will complement that, specifically within University Hill’s commercial area. This public art opportunity will align with the revitalization concepts underway.
Artwork Location
Specific locations will be determined through the selection panel, within the University Hill area highlighted in this map.
