Event Details

Code: ART 2025 is a free, interactive media art festival that transforms downtown Palo Alto into a dynamic playground of light, sound, and imagination from October 16–25, 2025, produced by the City of Palo Alto Public Art Program. The festival opens with five site-specific installations – featuring a centerpiece at Lytton Plaza and four hands-on art experiences that offer a unique opportunity to meet and engage with the artists in person – on view October 16–18. Nightly, from October 16-25, visitors can also enjoy an immersive 8-story projection art show designed by three globally recognized 3D projection mapping artists who will transform the Palo Alto City Hall façade. Code:ART invites you to explore, play, and connect through boundary-pushing public art that celebrates Palo Alto’s spirit of creativity and innovation.
