Have you noticed artwork dotting the landscape as you ventured into Douglas County? The celebrated Douglas County Art Encounters outdoor public art program has installed dozens of pieces in public places throughout Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker and Roxborough.
The 2024-2025 sculptures are the works of local and national artists, showcased in visible areas to encourage public interest in art, allow artists to showcase their work and give everyone a sense of community pride.
Whether you’re a public art enthusiast or new to public art, you are encouraged to visit each sculpture and then visit our webpage to select your favorite for a People’s Choice Award by Jan. 31, 2025.
Conceived by the Douglas County Cultural Council in 2007, Art Encounters is a year-long outdoor art exhibit showcasing sculptures, in various media and styles. Since its inception, the project has been funded, in part, by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and the Philip S. Miller Trust.
