Art in Public Places

The City of Dana Point values art and works hard to ensure that as the City grows, so do the opportunities for public art contributions. Located throughout the City's parks, streets and structures are an assortment of art pieces with styles ranging from classical to modern. Many of them reflecting the City's rich history but all of them contributing to the unique beauty that is Dana Point. In 1994 the City established an Art in Public Places program to incorporate art into new developments. Some of the art shown below are the result of the City's implementation of that program.
