Public Art:
The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) continues to fund the creation of public art by awarding private and or public property owners with installations year after year. Each year we celebrate the artistic expression found within the large public art collection by hosting Art March. Art March is a month-long invitation for the public to explore Downtown Ferndale’s diverse creative scene while enjoying our unique shopping, dining, and entertainment offerings.

The public is invited to take a self-guided art walk to see these murals in person, as well as other installations in Downtown Ferndale through a google map.
