Show Why You Love Rochester Hills With Art

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — Rochester Hills is asking local artists to express their love for the city through their artwork to celebrate Rochester Hill's 40th birthday.

Following the success of the Art on Auburn Program, city officials partnered with the Paint Creek Center for the Arts to launch a second round of featured art pieces in the Brooklands neighborhood.

Officials encouraged artists of all levels to participate in the community wide imitative, which asks "why do you love Rochester Hills?"

Additionally, officials asked artists to have their artwork fit within a circular frame (maintaining the original Art on Auburn's shape) and use a maximum of five specified colors

"We’re always excited about the opportunity to bring art to our community. I can’t think of a better way to do that than partnering with Rochester Hills for another round of Art on Auburn," Executive Director of the PCCA Shaun Hayes said. "The first Art on Auburn project was a huge success, and we expect a great deal of enthusiasm to see this return."

Each artist can submit up to two designs, with only one eligible for placement. Submissions are open and will be accepted through May 10. A jury of artists and community representatives will then evaluate entries and select up to 50 pieces to proceed to online community voting.

"Art on Auburn was incredibly popular with students the first time we launched this program, and thanks to their efforts we now have 25 beautiful pieces that are on display all year long," Rochester Hills Mayor Bryan K. Barnett said. "We are excited to open this program up to local artists of all ages and highlight local talent in this extraordinary way."
