Art in Public Places

The Art in Public Places program has sponsored many pieces of town art in Davis. According to the City of Davis website, "Since 1973, the City has set aside 1% of all funds allocated for Capital Improvement Projects to purchase art that enhances the quality of the Davis environment. The artists selected through this program represent a diversity of style and media. Sculpture, murals, paintings, tile work, and functional pieces are located around the city for your enjoyment". The city maintains a walking guide to the art located around the city, only available in print (not online).

The aesthetics of many of these pieces are often critiqued by a diverse range of people.
