Sculpture on Loan
In 1995, the Commission initiated the Sculpture on Loan Program with the placement of three pieces of art in the downtown area. Currently, over a dozen pieces are being displayed each year.
At the end of each year the Art Commission solicits art pieces to be on display for the following year in our public areas and community parks. Artists lend their work to the City for one year for a $700 honorarium and in return the City agrees to publicize their work.
Each year, with citizen input the City purchase one or more sculptures to be added to the permanent art collection. Greeley now has 25 sculptures in Greeley’s public places. They have either been purchased by the City, over half as “People’s Choice” purchases from the annual Sculpture on Loan program, or donated by Greeley citizens.
