The Fields Foundation and Mosaic Church along with key community partners are committed to provide opportunities and remove barriers for the residents of Original Aurora through direct programming; collaborations with business, non profits and government agencies and by advocacy and public policy changes.

Day Labor Center

The Dayton Street Day Labor Center was founded by community and city leaders concerned about the prevalence of worker exploitation and dangerous working environments that Aurora’s day laborers face on a daily basis.

Art in Public Places

Aurora’s Art in Public Places Program enhances the quality of life in Aurora as high-quality neighborhoods and public spaces are developed and maintained.

Locally and nationally renowned artists have created 300 individual pieces to enhance the city’s public spaces with works of art ranging from outdoor sculptures and murals to functional works integrated into the architecture.

City of Aurora and Aurora Water

Aurora was incorporated as the town of Fletcher on April 30, 1891. The new town, one of the new crop of suburbs sprouting up around Denver, was four square miles of prairie reaching from Yosemite Street to Peoria and 6th Avenue north to 26th Avenue. In 1907 the town was renamed Aurora. Aurora history is one of change, growth, diversity, and community. Since its early history, Aurora has grown to a city of 154 square miles and a population of approximately 335,000 people. Aurora is one of the most diverse cities in the Aurora/Denver metro area.

The Aurora’s Art in Public Places (AIPP) program is planning a special exhibition commemorating the anniversary of women's right to vote. AIPP invited 10 local women artists from diverse backgrounds and asked them the question,
“What Does the 19th Amendment Mean to You?” The 10 selected artists responded…

We will be highlighting each one of the artists participating.
This week we are highlighting our fifth artist Xencs L. Wing Art

“Hi, I’m Xencs. I’m a self-taught Xicana artist born and raised in Denver, Colorado. I’m honored to have been chosen to participate in the Voices of Women Reflecting the 19th Amendment exhibit! I work with many types of media, but for this piece, I decided to use paint to tell a story inspired by the path that women paved 100 years ago. I recognize that this movement was a spark that started other movements for women. This piece is inspired by the women who look like me and who use their right to vote to be heard – and by the women who have taken the steps to use their power in the senate, congress, and city councils across America. It’s inspired by the conversation that representation matters. Finally, it is inspired by the little ladies who are often told their too bossy, but the truth is, they’re natural leaders and have aspirations to break the ceiling that they’ve been told couldn’t be broken.”- Artist Angélica Jiménez @Xencs L. Wing Art

Next week we will highlight other artists participating in the
exhibit. #hercolorado #Colorado #WomensVoteCentennial #auroraaipp
