What is the Arts and Culture Board?
The Glenwood Springs Arts & Culture Board (ACB) is committed to promoting awareness, access, and appreciation of the fine, performing, and practical arts for the City of Glenwood Springs. The ACB believes that a healthy arts and culture environment lends itself to a vibrant and forward-thinking community and enriches the local economy. As mortar binds building blocks, it is the ABC’s mission to bring people together and encourage meaningful connection through the arts.

Public Art Plan
In November 2019, the City of Glenwood Springs selected Ohio-based Designing Local to develop a comprehensive Public Art Plan for our community that will shape policies and procedures for acquiring, commissioning and placement of new art as well as preservation and restoration of historical artwork, and assessing the public art collection for gaps and opportunities.
The Public Art Plan development includes input from community stakeholders, the Arts & Culture Board, City staff, and our community members. In January 2020, community stakeholders were contacted to share their vision for public art in Glenwood Springs and a Designing Local representative toured our city to get a firsthand glimpse of our public art and feel for the culture of Glenwood Springs.
The Public Art Plan was approved by City Council on October 7th, 2021. Please visit the Public Art Plan Webpage for more information.
