Public Art Projects

The City of Boynton Beach Art in Public Places Program recognizes public art throughout our City.  Some of the public art is commissioned to satisfy the Public Art Ordinance 07-002.  Other times local businesses engage artists to create exciting and interesting art for all to enjoy. Public art attracts visitors to the City and its businesses. Public Art is a great way to market a particular development, residence complex or business.  It creates character and place making. It can be an identifying marker and often a meeting place where people gather. Here are a few of the locations where you can find public art in the City of Boynton Beach.
