Governor's Awards for Downtown Excellence 2003 Winner
BEST PARTNERSHIP EFFORT
Special Achievement - Downtown Tile Project
Concrete planters located on the corners of downtown Colorado Springs
were transformed from ordinary into spectacular with a public
art project made possible by local students, Van Briggle Art
Pottery, Murphy Constructors, Downtown Partnership/Community
Ventures and the City of Colorado Springs.
Area high school students came up with the seven Art Nouveau designs
that were hand pressed and glazed onto 500 five-inch tiles before
being installed on the planters. The result of this special gift
to the citizens of Colorado Springs is a splash of artistic color
downtown, even during the coldest winter months.
PARTNERS: City of Colorado Springs, Van Briggle Art Pottery, Downtown
Partnership/Community Ventures, Area Schools, Murphy Constructors,
