Bringing Meaningful Art to Public Spaces Across Okaloosa County
Since 2011, Okaloosa Public Arts (OPA) has been enriching public spaces across Okaloosa County, Florida, through inspiring and accessible art. From government buildings and libraries to local parks, schools, and city streets, OPA installs vibrant public art displays that celebrate our region’s creativity and culture. Entirely funded by generous private donations and powered by dedicated local artists and volunteers, OPA’s mission is to transform everyday spaces into meaningful community landmarks. Through exhibitions, youth art initiatives, and rotating installations, we bring color, inspiration, and local talent into the heart of our cities and neighborhoods.
