Sidewalk Murals and Stamps Project

In partnership with the Arts, History and Cultural Council, the City and County of Broomfield is excited to launch the first-ever sidewalk mural project(External link) as part of the first phase of the ARTery! This project incorporated new priorities and goals to align with the new Art in Public Places Plan, developed by the Public Art Committee in 2021:

• Select three pairs of artists, each pair composed of one professional and one emerging artist to create work together through mentorship.
• Utilize a Request for Qualifications to select artists based on their commitment to community engagement and collaboration, and have the interactions with neighbors inspire their final artwork proposals.
• Provide multiple opportunities for the Broomfield community to participate, including during the mural installation!

Thank you to the artists, the Arts, History and Cultural Council, all of the wonderful volunteers who helped paint stencils, and everybody that participated in the ARTery sidewalk mural. Special thank you to the Broomfield Parks team and Broomfield Streets team for helping to make the project happen.

This Art, History, and Culture Council Committee selected finalists for the ARTery sidewalk mural project. The artists selected for this project are Katerina Vuletich and Paige Brown, Ratha Sok and Jennifer Vasquez and Jennifer Chaparro and Camie Rigirozzi. This project was built in coordination with Parks, Recreation and Senior Services and Open Space and Trails, as well as artist selection through the Arts, History and Cultural Council. For the call, artists self-identified as either professional or emerging to be paired for mentorships, and all three semi-finalist pairs were selected as finalists. All three pairs participated in community engagement that ultimately informed their designs.
