28th Annual Art on the Streets Colorado Springs

Art on the Streets (AOTS) celebrates the power of art in public places, turning the streets of Downtown Colorado Springs into a yearlong outdoor gallery of sculptures, murals, and installations. More than 300 works have been exhibited Downtown since AOTS began in 1998 and the creative district is home to more than 50 permanent works, over 40 of which have been purchased through AOTS.

AOTS is managed as a program of the Downtown COS Creative District, a nonprofit, nongovernmental organization. The program is funded entirely by corporate and individual donors—no public funds are used. Annual exhibitions are heavily promoted through regional and national press outreach, a GPS-based smartphone tour of the exhibition, and a full-color exhibition brochure distributed throughout Downtown.
