The guide on a phone: a city map with artworks dropped as photo pins, and a “Nearby public art” list of works, artists and tags

Made to be explored

The map, the stories, and the routes, in one guide.

  • Opens on a map

    Nobody experiences a collection alphabetically. The guide opens on a map of the city, with the catalog a tap away.

  • A page for every artwork

    Photos, artist credit, materials, and the story behind each piece, drawn from a catalog your team keeps current.

  • Self-guided tours

    Curated routes with turn-by-turn walking and cycling navigation, followed at the visitor's own pace.

A curated walk, not a printed map

Editors compose tours from the catalog, and visitors follow them with turn-by-turn walking or cycling directions at their own pace. When a route changes, the published tour changes with it.

FAQs

Do visitors need to install anything?

No. The guide runs in the browser on the phone already in their pocket: nothing to install, nothing to print.

Can we build and change tours ourselves?

Yes. Editors manage artworks, artists, and tours through a simple admin. No developer in the loop.

How do people find the guide?

Every artwork gets its own server-rendered page with structured data and sitemaps, so the collection is reachable from search, and one link works everywhere your program already talks to people.

What happens when an artwork moves or is repainted?

Your team edits the record and the change goes live. Visitors can flag what changed with suggest-an-edit, so the map keeps pace with the street.

Is there a live example?

Yes. The Calgary guide is live today, with artworks in every city ward. The best tour of the product is the product.
