About the Art Trail Project

The Art Trail Project is a directory of free public art trails and sculpture trails.

Every year around the globe, hundreds of amazing public art and sculpture trails take place. Finding out about these events often relies on word-of-mouth. The Art Trail Project was created to map these free public art trails, create a permanent record of them and celebrate the art trails happening around the world right now.

Who is behind the Art Trail Project?

We are Richard and Louise, a couple from the United Kingdom who love completing art trails! Our first art trail was more than a decade ago, and involved chasing eighty Wallace and Gromit figures located around Bristol, United Kingdom as part of Gromit Unleashed. Since then, we have become hooked and have completed countless more art trails around the world. We often struggled to find where and when the art and sculpture trails were taking place, so we created this website to help you discover your next exciting art trail!

The project is lovingly built and maintained in Yorkshire, United Kingdom (where the Puffins Galore art trail photo was taken at the top of this page!). Special thanks to Learnal for providing the website hosting.

How can I get involved with the Art Trail Project?

The Art Trail Project is a community website driven by you! New art and sculpture trails are being added all the time. If you love art trails, consider becoming a contributor to the site. Simply register and add an art trail or you can share your photos and reviews with other users to an existing art trail. Don't forget to mark the trail as complete if you have already finished it!
