The Public Art Archive (PAA) is a comprehensive online and mobile database that showcases completed public artworks both in the United States and abroad. By bringing together records from public art organizations and artists in one centralized resource, PAA aims to provide universal access to the rich stories that define these artworks. More than just static objects, public artworks serve as dynamic keepers of history, context, and meaning.

Since its inception in 2010, PAA has grown into one of the largest active databases of public art. It offers a range of products and services aimed at artists, administrators, consultants, educators, and researchers. Through PAA, users can explore diverse collections, access information about public artworks, and support best practices in cataloging and preservation.

PAA also raises awareness about the significance of public art and develops resources to engage and educate various audiences. With the mission of making public art more accessible, PAA is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the breadth and depth of public art
