Public Art Archive
http://www.publicartarchive.org/

Public art is for everyone, and this website is a terrific way to learn about the works in your local community. Launched in 2009, the Public Art Archive “helps explorers find information about public art in their world.” We liked that this archive sourced submissions from people across the country, making the site a valuable repository of information about projects large and small. To get a feel for the site, start with the Collections area to travel through pictures of works at the Albany International Airport, Atlanta’s Beltline, and other locales. Or why not mix things up by looking around the By Year area, which is a good way to get a sense of the progress and transformation of public art. Also, the blog is a fine potpourri of updates about calls for new public art, networking opportunities, and more. The Public Art Archive was launched in 2009 as a free resource for comprehensive data and extensive information about thousands of public art installations across the United States. New users should visit the About area for information about the functionality of the site and its history. After a quick visit here, the Browse tab filters this information by artist, collection, location, materials, work type, placement and year. Those unacquainted with the world of public art would do well to start in several large cities like Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, and Miami. The clickable map interface makes it easy and quite enjoyable to look at different cities and regions quickly. Browsing around by year is interesting as well; the works are listed chronologically all the way back to the year 1802. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
