Arts Orange County has been compiling an inventory of the art in public places located throughout the county. As of now, public art in 23 of Orange County's 34 cities has been cataloged, and the numbers are impressive: nearly 600 works of public art are on display. The graph above shows the statistics for the 10 cities with the most public art. This inventory is far from complete--even in cities that have been cataloged, there have been new works installed, works that have been removed, and there remain works that we simply don't yet know about--particularly works on private properties. ArtsOC shares this data with City arts coordinators in order to obtain information about additions and missing items in the inventory. Also, we have been gradually uploading our inventory data to SparkOC.com, where 100 of the works are now listed with images, descriptions and map locations, a resource for art lovers who wish to visit these sites. The inventory is also a valuable tool in cultural planning work that ArtsOC performs for cities (it is now completing an Arts & Culture Master Plan for the City of Costa Mesa) and for arts advocates seeking to encourage more public art in their communities. Seed funding for ArtsOC's public art inventory project was first provided in 2014 by The Architecture Foundation of Orange County.
