Our Mission:

The Mission of the Art in Public Places Program (AIPP) is to capture the pulse of the community by contributing to neighborhood development and economic vitality, and by engaging the many voices of Aurora through art and culture.

Stay Informed: 

The city of Aurora Art in Public Places Program was created 30 years ago with the passage of Ordinance 93-63 in September of 1993. The intent was “to expand the opportunities for Aurora residents to experience art in public places, thereby creating more visually pleasing environments; the arts represent an opportunity for Aurora to establish a unique image and character and to contribute to the civic pride of Aurora’s community.” Currently, the mission of the Art in Public Places Program is to capture the pulse of the community by contributing to neighborhood development, economic vitality and engaging the many voices of Aurora through art and culture.

 

Join AIPP for a special celebration of their 30th anniversary from 5:15 to 6:15 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 26, at the Aurora Municipal Center, 15151 E. Alameda Parkway. The anniversary celebration will include an exhibit at the Aurora Municipal Center Mezzanine Gallery, the reading of a poem written by Aurora’s Poet Laureate for the occasion and the publication of a special edition catalog including this first work of poetry to be commissioned for the collection.

 

This fun celebration includes refreshments and a great assortment of public art swag. To learn more, follow AIPP on social media and RSVP here.
