COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KOAA) — Downtown Colorado Springs is welcoming new temporary art installations that will remain in place for the next year as part of the Art on the Streets program.
This year, 150 artists applied to the program, with 12 selected to showcase their work. Six of the chosen artists are from Colorado. All of the artists are engaged in transforming downtown with accessible public art.
The Art on the Streets program has brought hundreds of pieces of public art to Downtown Colorado Springs since its inception.
