Art looks different in Bend,
Oregon. It has skinned knees and a
gleeful, good-time grin. It doesn’t
sit stiffly on the walls of some
museum. Our art knows how to have
fun. After all, our art plays outside!
The Roundabout Art Route is a
collection of over 20 pieces of
public art on display throughout the
city in the most unlikely places – at
the center of Bend’s traffic circles.
The circles, also filled with flowers,
plants and trees, are designed to
keep traffic flowing around the city.

Did Bend’s amazing public art drop
from the sky by magic? Not quite.
Art in Public Places, funded by the
Bend Foundation, is a non-profit organization that’s been bringing great art
to our city since 1973. The way they
figure it, art enhances the cultural environment for citizens and visitors alike.
We agree, and
we’d like to do
a group cheer
for Art in Public
Places for making this happen.
In 2005, Bend’s roundabout sculptures
were honored by Americans for the
Arts as one of the most innovative approaches to Public Art in the country.
Psst...did you know this is your art?
We’re not saying you should take it
home in the family minivan, but Art in
Public Places wants everyone to feel
ownership of Bend’s public art collection. With more than 43 pieces, it’s
a centerpiece of Bend’s energetic
cultural scene. The next art installations you’ll be seeing are the result
of a successful fundraising campaign
called, Be Part of Art. To learn more
