Welcome to the City of Arvada!
About us
Arvada, Colorado is a beautiful first-ring suburb of Denver, the Mile High City. Arvada retains a small-town feel even with a population of over 120,000. Established in 1870, Arvada enjoys a rich history, quiet tree-lined neighborhoods, and a robust mix of business. Our strong civic leadership balances quality of life with an understanding and support of business and economic development. Arvada's land encompasses nearly 23,000 acres. Three proximate interstate highways provide easy access to the larger metropolitan region and Denver International Airport. An extraordinary trail system links with Denver trails on the east and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains to the west, punctuated with thousands of acres of parks and open spaces. Residents and businesses have easy access to world-class research institutions including the University of Colorado and Colorado School of Mines; in addition, the Arvada campus of Red Rocks Community College provides training assistance to meet employer needs. Arvada offers unique amenities. The historic downtown, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, provides an eclectic shopping and dining experience, and in the near future will include one of three area transit stops as part of the metropolitan commuter rail system currently under development. Arvada's diverse economic base, highly educated workforce, low crime rate, and superb quality of life have helped shape our community into one of the most attractive and competitive cities in the Centennial State! The City strives to provide accessible digital assets. To request reasonable accommodations for accessibility visit the City's webpage: ArvadaCO.gov/Accessibility

🚨 The deadline to apply for the Garrison Street Mural Call For Entry is Wednesday, July 3. 🎨 The Arvada Arts and Culture Commission is seeking artists to design and paint a mural at the Garrison St. underpass! The underpass is located just west of Ralston Central Park at 5890 Garrison St. 🖌️ This mural location began as a proposal from the Flower Street Folks Neighborhood Group to bring public art to this underpass as a way to increase connection and reduce loneliness. They hope the mural builds a stronger sense of neighborhood identity and pride. The residents of the neighborhood would like to participate in the painting of the mural through an artist-led interactive element, such as a community painting day where residents may fill in areas of the mural. 🎨 Visit the Call for Entry to learn more and apply: https://ow.ly/6PbL50Sl8Ot
