Public Art Activities

Public art is to be enjoyed by everyone! These Public Art Activities were developed to expand the accessibility and enjoyment of Reston’s public art. To be enjoyed by both children and adults alike, this series of activities includes the Public Art Map of Reston to help you find Reston’s artworks, brain teasers like the Public Art is Everywhere series, child-friendly coloring pages, and Reston Public Art Bike Rides, created in partnership with the Reston Bike Club! Not to be missed is the Public Art Explorer series – designed for the whole family to enjoy together, these pages are packed full of absorbing activities to do at home or while “exploring” Reston’s public artworks and their artists!
