What We Do

The Durham County Public Art Program commissions works of public art, accepts donations of public art, and creates public/private partnerships for the creation of public artworks. Through the medium of these installations, we strive to to provide a sense of meaning and beauty to places in our community; to enliven our streets and neighborhoods; to celebrate our unique history, diversity, and creativity; to engage, enlighten, inspire, and educate all citizens now and in the future.
