Public Art

In 2010, groups of pre-school-, elementary-, and middle-school students painted 9’x 2’ banners to express what they like about growing up in Boulder and what changes they wished to see in the future.  The banners were part of a rotating art exhibit that was shown at the Boulder Creek Festival, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Hill Flea.

Along with the banners, a sign was hung that recognized each youth participant that was involved in the banner project.

​In addition, Growing Up Boulder worked with 4th grade students at University Hill Elementary School and artists from the University of Colorado to design a mural for the pedestrian underpass at Euclid and Broadway. The elementary-school students created ceramic tiles for the mural around the theme of history and excavation.
