Public Art App

Discover creativity everywhere. NL’s public art at your fingertips.


Explore Art NL

Featuring 112 outdoor murals, sculptures, memorials and yarn-bombings across Newfoundland and Labrador, Explore Art NL is a mobile and online app that allows users to browse works by location, medium or artist. Information about each work, the artist, the location and its significance is included, with links to additional information and videos. Learn more about works near you or plan a trip to discover something you’ve never seen before using the map and directions features. You can even ask the app to notify you if you ever come within 1km of a given artwork! 

We created Explore Art NL because we believe in the power of art to draw people together, to start conversations, and to attract visitors to the unique landscape and talented artistic voices of our province. Public art also plays an important role in humanizing built environments, reflecting our evolving culture, and invigorating public spaces, inviting people to spend more time in a location.

Curated Tours

We believe in the importance of art, and public art in particular, to represent our societal values, and we want to empower a conversation about how our public art in NL has evolved and will continue to evolve.

We invited artists and curators to submit a theme for a “guided tour” they would like to create for the app, offering their perspectives on how members of the public might consider and engage with these works.

It is our hope that this dialogue will help shape the conversation around public art in our province going forward. Art has the power to help amplify voices that have been excluded in the past, create opportunities for participation by equity-seeking groups, elevate important topics of conversation, and improve the equity and social wellbeing of our communities.

Download the mobile app to access these tours, “collect” works, and more.
