Public Art
Creativity is a treasured value in Orinda, brought to life through art in community spaces. Outdoor public art is organized by the Arts in Public Places Committee through the Art in Public Places program, or “ArtSpace Orinda”, established in 2007 by the Orinda City Council and managed by City staff. Its mission is to recognize artists as important cultural resources, broaden public awareness and encourage dialogue about public art.
The Lamorinda Arts Council facilitates and curates the indoor gallery exhibits, highlighting local and regional artists and community interest. It also supports Artify Orinda, which brings public art to utility boxes, Bigbelly Smart waste and recycle stations throughout town. For a full list of current public art locations, visit the locations page on ArtSpace Orinda.
