Public Art in Tiburon
The Heritage & Arts Commission aims to expand opportunities for our citizens to experience public art by creating a more pleasing environment and improving our quality of life.
The Commission's objectives are to:
- Promote awareness of public art and provide opportunities for individuals to identify with and feel ownership of commissioned artworks.
- Utilize public art as a vehicle to educate children and provide avenues for their unique artistic expressions to enrich the community.
- Involve artists in the planning and design of public projects.
- Commission artists to create artworks that are responsive to the sites selected without blocking view corridors or impeding the use of public open space. The artwork should create possibilities for collaboration between artists, Town officials, and design professionals including architects, landscape architects, planners, and engineers.

Public Parks and Existing Public Art in Tiburon
During the formation of the Public Art Policy, a binder was created to inventory the public parks and existing public art in Tiburon. This binder, consisting of photos and histories of both parks and artwork, was created by Jaleh Etemad, Heritage & Arts Commissioner and former Tiburon Artist Laureate, and Joan Palmero, lifetime resident of the Tiburon Peninsula and former recipient of the Heritage & Arts Heritage Preservation Award.
