PUBLIC WORKS

Public art represents a significant part of John Hanrahan’s work, spanning murals, utility box installations, and civic art programs. His approach focuses on creating visually engaging pieces that integrate with their surrounding environment and community context.

Working across city-led initiatives and open calls, Hanrahan develops projects that respond to architecture, movement, and the character of specific locations. His work emphasizes clarity, composition, and impact at scale.

His experience includes selected public art commissions and submissions throughout Southern California, including mural programs, utility box beautification efforts, and civic design opportunities.

In parallel with completed works, his practice includes ongoing proposals and submissions for public art programs, reflecting a continued commitment to contributing to shared public spaces.

Through Hanrahan Creative, he continues to expand this body of work, exploring how contemporary visual art can shape everyday environments and create lasting public engagement.
