Photos: Palo Alto’s public art program brings life, color downtown

Public art installations pepper cities across the Bay Area, and as the rain clears and the weather warms up, there’s no better time to enjoy them.

California Avenue — one of Palo Alto’s two primary business districts — alone boasts at least 14 public art pieces installed since 1996, earning it the nickname “Palo Alto’s Avenue of the Arts.”

Permanent and temporary installations adorn building walls and alleyways.
