Trash Can Project

Artists: Fort Collins Community Members

Location: Various City Parks

This project is a collaboration between the Art in Public Places Program and the City's Parks Department. The goal is to beautify these functional pieces by inviting area youth and community members to create special artwork for the trash cans.

Schools that have participated include Blevins Junior High, Dunn Elementary, McGraw Elementary, Saint Joseph School and Lab School. BHA Design, Vaught Fry Architects and several local artists have also painted cans.

If you are interested in your school participating, please contact Ellen Martin at (970) 416-2789.
