Art in Public Places, An Outdoor Gallery Experience
The art scene in Vail, Colorado, extends far beyond the walls of its galleries. There are more than 70 works installed throughout Vail Village and Lionshead, transforming streets, plazas, and parks into an open-air collection that visitors can explore year-round.
As you stroll through the villages, you may encounter a wide variety of pieces, including:
- The Albert Einstein Bench: One of the most photographed sculptures in Vail Village, created by artist Gary Lee Price. The bronze Einstein sits casually on a park bench, inviting visitors to pause and reflect beside him.
- Public Murals: Olive Moya has created a geometric mural inside the Vail Village Transportation Center. Works like Kelsey Montague’s mural, “What Lifts You,” invite visitors to interact directly with the artwork.
- Seasonal Ice Sculptures at Vail Winterfest: During winter, the banks of Gore Creek transform into a glowing outdoor gallery of illuminated ice sculptures. Visitors can wander among the intricate frozen creations during the day or return after dark when the sculptures are beautifully lit.
