Public Art
The City of Greeley embraces artistic expression and encourages public art as a way of celebrating our community's vibrant cultural diversity.
The Greeley Art Commission
The Greeley Art Commission oversees the Public Art program and assists in discovering art that reflects the broad range of social, cultural and historic values that define Greeley.
The commission is guided by the Art Master Plan for Greeley, which guides and supports the integration of art that contributes to Greeley’s identity.
The art commission recognizes the importance of art forms in public places. The Public Art collection consists of more than 350 works of rotating indoor art, and more than 220 pieces of outdoor art. The collection is continually updated with new artwork as the art commission purchases several pieces of art annually.

Visit the Tointon Gallery
As the only city-run gallery in Greeley, the Tointon Gallery provides community members with opportunities to experience the visual arts; enjoyment and education from thought provoking discussion; and an enhanced quality of life as the result of its contributions to the city's thriving arts community.
The gallery features up to 12 different exhibits each year — with opportunities to meet and ask questions of the artists — and participates in the monthly, city-wide First Friday Art Event.
The gallery is located inside the Greeley Recreation Center complex at 651 10th Ave, and is open Monday – Saturday 9:00a.m. - 5p.m., Sunday 11:00a.m. - 5:00p.m. and during most UCCC performances.
