PUBLIC ART
Looking For Art in All the
Right Places… Public Sculpture in Los Altos
Public Sculpture in Los Altos
 Since 1987, sculpture has been displayed on public land throughout the City of Los Altos. Pieces are chosen for visual appeal, artistic skill, and compatibility with the environment and safety standards. Artists benefit from enhanced recognition, media coverage, and the potential to sell their work to local art lovers. The variety of work has stimulated comment and added a new cultural
dimension and richness to our public spaces.
The City currently owns fourteen permanent sculptures and also showcases approximately eleven sculptures as part of a rotating program under which the sculptures are on loan from the artist for two years. The Public Sculpture Committee advises the Parks, Arts, and Recreation Commission and the City Council on the selection and placement of all public sculptures. The Committee takes an active role to enhance the visual aesthetics of the City, engage the community as participants, and promote and support the visual arts.
For more information on how to serve on the Committee or regarding the program or sculptures, including their purchase at the end of the loan period, please contact the City Manager’s office at (650) 947-2740.
