The City of
Broomfield established the Public Art Committee by ordinance in
April 2003. The Committee is composed of seven at-large citizens
appointed by the City Council with two ex-officio nonvoting City
Council members. The City Council has endeavored to appoint citizens
with skills in a wide range of areas including leadership, project
management, consensus building, communication, visual/graphic arts,
and education/outreach. Click

citizens currently serving on the Public Art Committee.
The mandate of
the Public Art Committee is fourfold:
1) to administer percent for
art funds appropriated annually by City Council to acquire works of
art for installation on city property;
2) to develop an education
program for city residents and visitors about Broomfield's
public art program;
3) to conduct an annual inventory and condition
assessment of the city's art collection; and
4) to implement the Public
Art Master Plan and Program
Guidelines per direction of Council to develop and maintain
public art in the county. The master plan contains a vision for the
future of Broomfield's public art program including short-term and
long-range strategies to realize that vision. The plan, drafted by
the Public Art Committee and adopted by City Council in 2004, is
intended as a tool to guide the community in enhancing Broomfield's
existing and newly acquired collection of public art.
