Who We Are
Thornton Arts and Culture is a division of the Thornton Parks, Recreation and Community Programs.
Arts and Culture oversees public art, the Oz Gallery, and the Thornton Arts Academy. Arts and Culture presents cultural events in partnership with other branches of the city.
What We Do
The volunteer Public Art Panels meet approximately twice a year on an "as needed" basis. Meetings are in-person and last 2-3 hours.
Public Art Panels are volunteers (including residents, artists, and business owners) that work with members of the Thornton Arts, Sciences and Humanities Council (TASHCO). Together, they review portfolios and written material submitted by artists in response to City of Thornton "calls for entry". No artistic background is required - the panel reviews design proposals as submitted and does not alter the style, design, colors, patterns, materials, or any other elements of the artist proposals.
The Public Art Panel provides recommendations of which artist's proposal would be best for each public art project. Their recommendations are voted on by TASHCO and then by City Council.
