The Berwyn Public Art Initiative (BPAI) invites residents and visitors alike to experience the rich tapestry of local art through its newly launched BPAI Public Art Tour. This engaging walking tour, led by knowledgeable BPAI board members and dedicated volunteers, will guide participants through some of Berwyn’s most iconic and inspiring public art installations.
The BPAI Public Art Tour is designed to connect the community with the beauty and storytelling of public art, showcasing our many murals, sculptures, buildings, and installations that have transformed everyday spaces into dynamic public galleries. Each tour is carefully curated to include a variety of artworks, highlighting the diversity of styles and cultural narratives that make Berwyn's art scene unique. The tours are free and open to the public, making art accessible to everyone in the community.
“This tour is a wonderful opportunity for individuals of all ages to gain a deeper appreciation of the art that surrounds us and the stories behind each piece.”
