  • Brief Description

    The city of Thornton, in collaboration with the Thornton Arts, Sciences and Humanities Council (TASHCO), is seeking to commission original public art. This project will commission several 3D, site-specific work that will have a strong visual impact and push Thornton into a contemporary setting.

    The project will incorporate interactive artwork that is informed by principles of universal design to ensure pieces are accessible for people of all abilities.

    Artists are strongly encouraged to explore contemporary materials, themes, and utilize interdisciplinary practices to meet the scope of the project in addition to unique and exciting use of technology. This project asks artists to go beyond the use of static imagery/statuary to engage visitors and activate the trail with accessible design.
