2017 Clarksville Travel Planner

Public Art
Some of Clarksville’s best local talent is exhibited in the artwork that adorns
our city streets, parks and buildings. We’ve also commissioned pieces over the
years by artists outside of the community that reflect a specific point of pride.
A visit to these pieces will definitely provide insight into the hearts and
passions of Clarksvillians!
