The Town of Lyons and the Lyons Arts and Humanities Commission (LAHC) invite artists to submit high-quality, original art and sculpture for its newly expanded heARTS of LYONS Outdoor Arts Collection--all over town.

The heARTS of LYONS Outdoor Arts Collection is a perennial celebration of art and sculpture displayed outdoors throughout the quaint mountain town of Lyons, Colorado. Small but mighty Lyons (population 2,000) is an arts-rooted destination, noted for its music, artists, and beautiful setting in the Rocky Mountains’ foothills. Each year, the rare, franchise-free charm of Lyons lures thousands of visitors from all over the world to stop and linger on their way to and from Rocky Mountain National Park. 

The heARTS of Lyons rotating collection offers a compelling parade of art that escorts travelers through the Town and entices return visits.
