A host of stories, life lessons, messages and community initiatives come alive on benches throughout our city this month. A City program that is uniquely Auburn, Benchmarks showcases artistic transformations of public benches throughout the city. Residents are invited to seek out these artistic expressions, sit, relax and find inspiration in their messages. 

For a directory of benches and the community groups who painted them, click here. 

Below you can view a map of Benchmark locations. Visit our Facebook page for details of a “picture yourself” contest in which the whole family can participate.  Special thanks to all the community organizations that donated their time and artistic talents in the creation of this very special tradition.
