Birmingham Public Art

Public art is a vital part of the City of Birmingham. Art creates a richly diverse and meaningful experience while enhancing the visual character of our community. We invite you to enjoy the art we have on display and engage a friend, neighbor, or stranger on which piece is their favorite.

Dedicated September 10, 2021, Pyramid Earth was installed in Linden Park as part of Birmingham’s Art in Public Spaces. Donated by the internationally known artist and local resident Kegham Tazian, its East-facing and West-facing hemispheres and height suggest upward mobility and strength.
