Commissions Checkpoint Charlie is a guard shelter in Vail, Colorado where local law enforcement curb automotive activity in Vail's pedestrian, shopping, and restaurant district. Art In Public Places of the Town of Vail concluded a new facade was needed on a dilapidated Charlie for the high profile 1999 World Alpine Championships activities. Nine local artists and architects were asked to present a structural improvement plan, of which one was accepted: Avant Palette. Included in the makeover was re-staining the roofing, repainting and glazing the preexisting wood paneling, creation of a town coat of arms, Village map, Swiss shutters, doors, fauxed vines, and custom lettering.
