A Guide to Philadelphia's Public Art

Documenting over 150 years of publicly funded art in public space

We worked with the Philadelphia Office of Art, Culture and the Creative Economy to create this book which is meant to serve as a tool for an abbreviated self-guided walking tour of public art in Philadelphia. Its intent is to provide information about a sampling of Philadelphia’s public art collection, and to raise awareness about the role that the City’s Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy plays in commissioning and preserving public art in Philadelphia.
