From eye catching sculptures to mosaics to temporary installations to digital works, public art is a standout feature in civic plazas, municipal buildings and commercial developments throughout North Vancouver.
Located in parks, along roadways, and integrated along nature trails and greenways, each piece is an original, one-of-a-kind work that creatively reflects North Vancouver's unique culture, heritage and natural environment.
Placing artwork in our everyday environment encourages citizens to take pride in cultural expression, and creates a forum to address relevant themes and issues.
A distinctive cultural asset, public art provides a deep-rooted sense of place and serves as an artistic legacy for future generations.

Program streams
North Vancouver's public art program is comprised of three main program streams: civic, community and developer-generated public art. While all three programs operate within the broader goal of building a sense of community identity through public art, each stream has different objectives and funding mechanisms.
