The ARTery Sidewalk Mural Project was the first major public art installation along the first phase of the ARTery, connecting the Broomfield Community Center with Broomfield Commons Open Space.
In March the City and County of Broomfield in partnership with the Arts, History, and Culture Council put out a call to create large-scale sidewalk murals and accompanying stencils for community installation along the first phase of the Broomfield ARTery creative corridor project. For the call, artists self-identified as either professional or emerging to be paired for mentorships. In June, the Art, History, and Culture Council Committee selected three finalists for the ARTery sidewalk mural project. All three pairs participated in community engagement that ultimately informed their designs. The artists selected for this project are Katerina Vuletich and Paige Brown, Ratha Sok and Jennifer Vasquez and Jennifer Chaparro and Camie Rigirozzi. Each group of artists installed their pieces in late July and early August. The community was invited to participate in the installation by painting stencils alongside the artists at each of the murals. The ARTery Sidewalk Mural Project was the first major public art installation along the first phase of the ARTery, connecting the Broomfield Community Center with Broomfield Commons Open Space. This project was built in coordination with Parks, Recreation and Senior Services and Open Space and Trails, as well as artist selection through the Arts, History and Cultural Council.
