Is a public art map only for street art?
No. Street art can be part of it, but a public art map can also include sculptures, installations, monuments, cultural venues and archive records connected to public space.
Public & street art
A public art map shows art you can discover in shared places
A public art map is a searchable cultural map of artworks, murals, installations, monuments and creative places that people can encounter in streets, parks, plazas and shared spaces. In art.kubus, the map is also a community-built archive layer: it helps people discover local art today while improving public cultural records over time.
The short answer
A public art map answers a practical question first: what art can I find near me, and what should I know before I visit? A useful record includes a location, title, artist attribution when known, public-space context and links to related archive pages.
What belongs on the map
Coverage can include sculptures, murals, installations, memorials, street interventions, gallery-adjacent public works and cultural spaces. It should not pretend to be a complete event calendar or private directory; the focus is visible, visitable and publicly shareable cultural context.
Why community records matter
Many public artworks are poorly documented online or scattered across institutional pages. Community contributions can fill gaps carefully by adding markers, correcting locations and connecting works to artists, institutions and local histories without exposing private data.
How art.kubus uses the idea
art.kubus treats the public art map as an entry point into a broader open art platform. AR and XR layers are in development, and decentralised archive infrastructure is explored as a way to make public cultural records more resilient.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add missing public art?
When contribution tools are available, add a careful marker with public information, a clear location and respectful context so other people can discover the work.
