Sunnyvale has over 200 Public Art pieces throughout the city and we're adding more! Three sculptures have been installed through our Art in Private Development Program. This program requires developers to allocate 1% of their construction costs to public art. Visit the public art page for more information and to view the Public Art Collection.

Help Select Sunnyvale's Public Art
The Public Art Program is looking for jurors to help select the artists and artworks for upcoming projects. Juror responsibilities include:
Reviewing artist applications
Selecting semi-finalists for Council's consideration
The commitment for each project is 3 to10 hours. No experience required.
Check out Sun Flair, the newest public art project at Sunnyvale's parks! Twenty-six talented Bay Area artists have transformed ordinary fiberglass sun sculptures into stunning works of art. These unique pieces are currently on display in 13 parks throughout the city. Come experience these beautiful and vibrant sculptures in person at a park near you.

The Great Box Cover-up!
This project was designed to bring local artists and their artwork into the community and to convert gray, city-owned traffic signal boxes into attractive and engaging artwork.
You may have noticed our favorite sculpture by artist Sal Pecoraro is missing from the upper pond. Don't worry - it's just part of the Community Center renovation. The sculpture, first installed back in 1989, will be moving to the new, smaller pond. We can all look forward to seeing it again when the pond reopens in early summer 2026!
