Have you noticed artwork dotting the landscape as you’ve ventured out in Douglas County? The celebrated Douglas County Art Encounters outdoor public art program has recently installed dozens of new pieces in public places throughout Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker and Roxborough.

The 2025-2026 sculptures are the works of local and national artists, showcased in visible areas to both encourage public interest in art, allow artists to showcase their work and give everyone a sense of community pride.

Conceived by the Douglas County Cultural Council in 2007, Art Encounters is a year-long outdoor art exhibit showcasing sculptures in various media and styles. Since its inception, the project has been funded, in part, by the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District and the Philip S. Miller Trust.
