Fallbrook Art In Public Spaces - Bearfoot In The ParkThe concept of this program was to encourage the public display of art to beautify and inspire our community. 1996 saw the installation of Bearfoot in the Park, a bronze by Nancy Scott of Loveland, Colorado. In 1998 the Ingold Family’s donation of a life-size bronze The Facts of Life, by renowned sculptor Glenna Goodacre, creator of the Vietnam Women’s Memorial in Washington, D. C. took the Art in Public Places program to a new level. Also in 1996 the Fallbrook Mural Project joined the Art in Public Places program when an unsightly shed in the Village Square was transformed with a depiction of native flora and fauna by local artists. Nine murals are now part of this growing project.   

Art in Public Places expanded to include Beech Street Park, featuring public art created by children. In 1998 the first project was the mural All Creatures Great and Small  painted by students of Fallbrook County Day School. In 2002 came a bronze bird, Totem Bird by Kort Heyneman who had attended a class at the Art Studios, now named the Fallbrook School of the Arts and Foundry.  

A joint venture between the Fallbrook Village Association, the Fallbrook Land Conservancy and SDSU’s Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve created the beautiful sculpture garden at the Palomares House Park on Stagecoach Lane. The park displays bronze sculptures throughout the garden.  

2002 brought the beginning of the Art-On-Loan program with installation of works by artists Wendell Perry and James Hubbell. This evolving and changing program continues to grow.
