Art Encounters is a year-long, rotating outdoor exhibit that showcases a number of sculptures in various mediums and styles displayed in highly visible areas of Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Roxborough and Parker. You can learn more about the program and view all current pieces by visiting Douglas County Art Encounters.

The Little Art Gallery is a freestanding structure that was created in 2021. It sits directly outside the PACE Center entrance and serves as a public art “library” for people to take and/or make a piece of art.

Art in public places serves to enrich, stimulate and enhance the aesthetic experience in Parker. Public art also contributes to the town’s economic draw and is an ongoing education tool for the community.

Young artists from Parker Performing Arts School and their families helped transform unlikely canvases into temporary mini masterpieces at O'Brien Park as part of a “tiny art” partnership with Parker Arts and Parker Parks and Recreation. Dozens of art pieces/spots are painted throughout the park—some more hidden than others—and all unique, creative, and charming! Those most of these pieces have faded and/or painted over, there are a few paintings on cement that remain.

Spearheaded by Parker Arts and the Town of Parker's Public Art Commission, with help from Parker's Public Works, a collection of wrapped utility boxes are located throughout the town featuring Colorado-inspired images, Parker-related historical facts, artistic, patriotic, and whimsical themes.
