The community cultural plan that Matt Chasansky hopes to oversee in 2014 will ask residents what they want "the personality of Boulder" to be and then identify the tools to help make that happen. Chasansky is the new arts and culture manager for the city of Boulder. He took over a role that had been vacant for nearly three years after serving six years as director of arts and culture programs at Denver International Airport, a tenure that started with the installation of the infamous Blue Mustang. "DIA was a fascinating time and lots of things going on, but one thing it didn't have was a community," Chasansky said.

" He said there is increasing recognition around the country that public art should be more than just statues in parks and that it should have a sense of vibrancy and immediacy that connects it to people's lives.
