Wikipedia:WikiProject Visual arts/Public art/Projects

This page in a nutshell: The following resources provide step-by-step guidance for creating articles about public art. Three different approaches have been developed; no matter if you're an educator, museum professional, community advocate, or simply looking to create a quality Wikipedia article, you'll have the guidance needed to create & edit articles.

The WSPA Community Project

For artworks in the United States you can use the SOS! Database to find public artworks in your city that already have at least one reliable reference.
