About LandMarks Public Art
LandMarks Public Art is an online database containing over 180 public artworks from across the capital region. You can use it to learn more about a public artwork you're curious about, or to find more artworks nearby. You can even create your own customizable self-guided tour. Browse artworks on our map, or search with filters to find what exactly what you're looking for.
LandMarks is a shared effort of the jurisdictions that contribute to the CRD Arts Service. The Arts Service manages the database on their behalf.
Public art often serves to bridge the gap between the art world and the wider public. To strengthen that bridge, LandMarks is intended to make engaging with public art more accessible.
About the Capital Regional District (CRD)
The CRD is the regional government for 13 municipalities and three electoral areas on southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, serving about 440,000 people. The traditional territories of many First Nations span portions of the region and 11 of those Nations hold reserve lands throughout the capital region.
About the Arts & Culture Support Service (Arts Service)
The Arts & Culture Support Service supports, champions, and develops the region's not-for-profit arts. Its primary function is to award grants to local not-for profit organizations. It also aims to foster collaboration between arts groups, funders and audiences. Through the Arts Service, the CRD helps to build healthy, livable, vibrant communities.
The Arts Service is a sub-regional service. Currently, nine of the capital region's 16 jurisdictions are part of the service. Those nine jurisdictions support LandMarks, and Arts Service staff manage it on their behalf.
