Executive Summary
For over a decade, the Town has participated in the Douglas County Art Encounters program, which provides rotating art exhibits to the residents of Douglas County in various media and styles. Displayed in highly visible areas in Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker and Roxborough, new art pieces are installed each year to promote public interest in art, develop community pride, foster community character and draw visitors to retail and civic areas.
On February 27, Vice Chair Joyce Volp and Staff Liaison Maia Aman attended the program’s round robin to select pieces for Castle Rock for the 2019-2020 season.
The following pieces were selected and can also be referenced in Attachment A:
• TWL #1
• Miss Poppin’s Favorite
• Against the Wind
• Hot Wheels Percival Landing
• Monumental
• Red Disc #10
Staff recommendation
Staff recommends that the Commission now discuss and provide feedback related to the placement of art for the program’s 2019-2020 season.
