As you explore galleries and wander the cobblestone streets of Vail, you’ll spot more than 60 pieces featured in the Art in Public Places (AIPP) program. The collection includes everything from a bronze sculpture of Albert Einstein relaxing on a bench to colorful birdhouse installations and a pirate-themed playground. Since 2019, the program has also highlighted work by Colorado muralists. Look for Olive Moya’s bold geometric designs at the Vail Village Transportation Center and Pedro Barrios and Jaime Molina’s abstract mural in Lionshead Village, which represents healing with humankind.
