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.

Fire Station 5 Emergency Operations Center - The Boynton Beach Fire Rescue Station #5 and Emergency Operations Center facility stands as the first building in the City's history to be hardened to withstand a Category 5 hurricane. The modern construction of this multi-functional facility takes firefighting and City operations to a new level. The public art displayed in the building exists to depict the heritage and character of the fire service throughout the City's history leading up to today's modern, comprehensive level of fire rescue and emergency preparedness operations. The public art elements provide visual references of historical timelines to the viewer, and when translated by artists as seen here, communicate portals to our City's past.
