Developer: Elsewise LLC
First release : 15 Feb 2011
App size: 9.22 Mb
Public Art PDX showcases the rich and diverse collection of Public Art on display in and around Portland, Oregon, USA. The map view shows the location of more than 600 works of art in the metro area, from historic statues and fountains to photography, architectural integrations and murals created this year. Images, descriptions and artists statements each work of art are all just a tap away.
With this app, you can:
* Find art near you by discipline, such as sculpture, painting, fiber or ceramic
* Tap a pin to see an image, details about the artwork and a description or artists statement
* Discover art you never knew about tucked inside public buildings, such as fire stations
* Explore art available in neighborhoods youve never visited
* See your current location on the map to navigate among the works of art
* Search the collection by title, artist, or medium
* Share information about specific works of art via social media
Planning-your-visit mode: Not in Portland? No problem. If the app discovers you are out of the area, or cant determine your location accurately, it will start you off with a map view showing art in downtown Portland. You can move the map around from there, and find works of public art to see on your next visit. Once you arrive in Portland, your location will appear on the map along with the art, making it easier to get oriented.
Enjoy!
