About us

Online since 2010, ArtAround is a nonprofit archival project which functions as a digital map & community. With thousands of artworks mapped and tagged, you can find public art by color or content, and anyone can upload new art, however they see it.

Get involved

ArtAround map

In 2010, ArtAround became the first online map of art in public spaces. Now you can find art in places like Vancouver, Atlanta, and Fairhope, AL. Art loads by recency or location, scroll down for more!

Digital magazine

Our director Lindsey Mancini also writes the Arrow, a digital publication on public art, street art, and graffiti, charting who has the right to what forms of creative expression in the spaces we share.

Educational resources

Our publications — PDF maps and digital reports on public art collections — are accompanied by audio guides, including guided meditations and readings for art-viewing, available via Soundcloud.
