Launched in 2001, Northglenn’s Art on Parade program is a unique one-year outdoor sculpture-on-loan program that features the work of up to six professional sculptors in our outdoor gallery at EB Rains Jr. Memorial Park. Residents and park visitors representing various cultures, age, backgrounds, and neighborhoods meet with the Northglenn Arts and Humanities Foundation (NAHF) to select the sculptures that are installed around Webster Lake.
Northglenn Art on Parade
Through the summer and into the fall, Northglenn residents and park visitors are asked to vote on the sculpture they would like to see purchased. The artist of the winning piece, the “People’s Choice,” receives a $1,000 cash award. The NAHF then, with funding through grants and fundraising, purchase the People’s Choice winner and gift it back to the community as part of the City of Northglenn’s permanent art collection.
The 2025/2026 Art on Parade program featured six sculptures installed at E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park. Voting has ended and “Red Rover” is the 2025/26 People’s Choice Award.
This bronze sculpture depicts a soaring red–tailed hawk placed on a flowing pedestal. The piece was selected by the public as part of Northglenn’s Art on Parade program, which features on-loan, outdoor sculptures exhibited at E.B. Rains, Jr. Memorial Park for one year.
“I volunteered for 20 years with outreach programs using raptors to teach about biodiversity and the environment,” said Stajcar, of Golden, Colo. “I love seeing a hawk on the wing—the glint of a red tail in the sun makes them easy to identify as they rove the sky.”
“Red Rover,” along with the other 2025/26 Art on Parade program sculptures, will remain on display through May 2026. In June, six new sculptures will be installed.
