The Metropolis of Palo Alto Public Art Program is committed to contributing to the intellectual, emotional, and creative life of the Palo Alto customs by creating engaging art experiences and dynamic public spaces for Palo Alto residents and visitors. The Program operates in accordance with Chapter 2.26 of Palo Alto Municipal Code to provide opportunities for the placement of permanent and temporary site-specific public fine art projects in municipal projects across Palo Alto. Additionally, the Programme oversees the implementation of the Ordinance requirement to incorporate public art in private development projects. The Public Art Committee (PAC) reviews and advises the Public Art Program on selection, placement, and care of public art throughout the City of Palo Alto.

Baylands Vignette by Mary Lucking installed on the Highway 101 Pedestrian / Bike Bridge
Inspired by the wetlands and the many creatures that live below,Mary Lucking designed her artwork for the overlook on the Baylands side of the bike and pedestrian bridge. She created grass themed custom railing and three sculptures for the overlook area that double as creative seating. The cast aluminum pieces take a brushed end and sculpted textured grasses and creatures that will make them visually engaging and interesting to affect.

Sway by Charles Sowers installed at the new Palo Alto Inferior Museum & Zoo
Swinging dorsum and forth in a slow svelte movement, a group of four 40-foot tall, counterbalanced pendulums extend high above the roofline through an opening in the roof of the Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo. Graceful even so whimsical, the pattern of motion is ever-changing as the pendulums are activated differently by visitors below who push and ride them, and the wind capturing the flags higher up. Enjoy interacting with Sway during Palo Alto Junior Museum & Zoo's opening hours.
