ArtSites New Haven

ArtSites New Haven is a digital map that locates, describes, and shares stories of public art around New Haven. In partnership with ArtAround, we maintain this curated set of our community’s favorite projects, to help give people a starting point to engage with our city’s public art.

ArtAround also hosts a community platform where anyone can upload and comment on public art around the city. Community support makes this map happen - if you see artwork not represented here, please consider using the platform to make edits yourself!

ArtSites was originally launched in 2015, and we’re in the process of updating it to reflect the last decades changes in the public art landscape. If you have any suggestions for changes, let us know, and we’ll have more updates to share soon, too.
