Wikipedia:WikiProject Public art/Examples of public art

This is an official competition about public art

• Before the start of 2010, we want to find an article about public art in each of the 50 United States, or from 50 different countries. So we've launched the first-ever, international WikiProject Public art competition .....

The USA versus the Rest of the World Public Art Competition

Who will find 50 first?

Da Rules:

Your article must be about public art and must contain at least these 2 specific things:

1) An image

2) An accurate GPS tag.

To get your article listed, either do it yourself below (creating new sections as needed), tweet it to the bird on the WSavesPublicArt Twitter account, or list it on the WSavesPublicArt Facebook Page. (You probably will be given a secret bonus treat if you do all three of these things.)
