Some Public Art


Public or street art has become the "in" thing for cities and places to make them cool. Recently I saw some public art that I enjoyed.

The first example is Fremont, Ca which has opened up the area around City Hall and is planning to rebrand the area. It is basically an office park but in the construction area they put some cool paintings on the fences (above and below):






The second area that I saw some cool public art was the San Jose Convention Center:





I am a big fan of public art and the more the better.

  11. I'm with you--the more public art, the better. My town of Hollister is on the bandwagon with public art. Whoo-hoo!

  18. Patrick, I like it when a city has designated areas for public art. It's a great way for young people to express themselves without getting into trouble and it a good way for others to enjoy this form of art expression. Thanks for sharing!

  22. Bless these artists who painstakingly showcase their art to people of the street. I am so glad we have such thing. Art galleries are for the rich but stuff you get to see on the streets are so pure, raw and honest.

  24. I love that the art didn't get covered up. If it's not obscene and is in good taste, I say just leave it. Thanks for linking up to Tips and Tricks. Hope to see you again next week.
