Creating Vibrant Places Through

Public Art

8:30 - 10 am

Aurora Chamber of Commerce

610 S Abilene St, Ste B, Aurora 80012

Public art enhances the vibrancy of a community - including its business community - by adding visual interest, creating a sense of place, and making the places where people work, shop, live, and gather more engaging.

Join us to hear about - and see - existing and planned public art, and learn how these installations are helping shape the character and identity of our community.

Start September inspired by art that brings our community to life!
