Best Valentine's Day Date - Public Art for Lovers

"Heroic Rendezvous" at Heisler Park, Laguna Beach

Visit the most charming and romantic public art across L.A. and Southern California. 

Artworks of friendship, love and passion are on show in many downtown plazas, parks and gardens, and we highlight some of the very best for Valentine's Day in Southern California.

A visit to these famous collections of sculptures, murals, and fountains - from the abstract to the whimsical -  promises amazement and delight, and maybe even a bit of love.
