Public Art Services

Denver welcomes a new icon. Taking Stock by Cliff Garten Studio merges cowgirl and bull into a single form — holding human and animal, past and present in deliberate tension. Debuting at the National Western Center during the Stock Show, this new public art commission asks us to reconsider who is centered in the mythology of the American West.

The work was developed in close collaboration with the City of Denver, Denver Arts and Venues, Metal Arts Foundry, and the National Western Center to resolve scale, structure, and site conditions. Its proportions and placement were designed to engage the plaza, surrounding architecture, and pedestrian movement.
Please join us for the Opening on Jan 21st 3:30 PM at the Main Campus Plaza, National Western Center.

This project is part of the the long-term culmination of Public Art Services’ work over the span of three years to develop the Public Art Master Plan for the National Western Center. We look forward to celebrating the dedication of this incredible sculpture.

We are midway through fabrication for The Howard County Veterans and Military Families Monument in Columbia, Maryland designed by Larry Kirkland. The monument, to be located in Vivian C. “Millie” Bailey Park, will offer a space for contemplative reflection that celebrates the service and sacrifice of Howard County’s veterans and military families.

We’ve had the great pleasure of working with Kirkland on several monumental projects over the years and are in awe of his ability to create welcoming spaces for gathering, reflection and learning.

It's hard to believer it's been 20 years since we installed Donald Lipski's iconic suspended sculpture at the Fort Worth Convention Center. The sculpture entitled 'Intimate Apparel and Pearl Earrings' was the first of two public artworks the City of Fort Worth commissioned through the Fort Worth Public Art Program.
