Art in Storefronts is an urban revitalization project designed to reactivate vacant store windows by inserting non-commercial art installations, creative businesses or pop-up shops in order to brighten the downtown area, increase foot traffic, and showcase local artists. COPPeR seeks artists to develop installations for vacant storefronts in various neighborhoods in the Pikes Peak Region.  Art in Storefronts is an ongoing project, conducting call for artists multiple times a year. The selected installations are temporary, and all properties remain for lease throughout the presence of the project.
