Riviera Beach
Art in Public Places Plan
Why is public art important to us?
Public art is more than just decoration; it embodies our collective vision, values, and traditions. It celebrates the diverse threads that weave our communities together and enhances our unique sense of place. By activating public spaces, thoughtfully curated art invigorates our neighborhoods and enriches the Riviera Beach experience for both residents and visitors alike, showcasing our vibrant spirit and energy.
Why Does Riviera Beach Need an Art in Public Places Master Plan?
The Riviera Beach Art in Public Places Master Plan is designed to integrate and unify our City, clearly expressing our values and distinctive qualities to the surrounding region and beyond. This plan will serve as a roadmap to energize our diverse communities, encouraging the implementation and enjoyment of public art while celebrating the unique creativity that makes Riviera Beach special.
How can public art transform a city?

By connecting our past, present, and future, public art has the potential to elevate and unify our city, creating social, economic, and cultural value.
