About the Robert Louis Stevenson Public Art Project
In the heart of St. Helena, a city rich in literary and artistic heritage, we are bringing history to life through public art. The Robert Louis Stevenson Public Art Project is dedicated to honoring the legacy of one of the world’s most celebrated authors—right here at the library that bears his name.
Our vision is simple yet impactful: to create a beautifully crafted bronze statue of Robert Louis Stevenson, seated on an artistic bench, inviting visitors to sit, reflect, and engage with his literary legacy. This will not only be a tribute to Stevenson’s time in Napa Valley but also a lasting piece of interactive art that inspires future generations.
This community-driven initiative has been over a year in the making and is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, meaning every donation goes directly toward making this vision a reality. With your support, we can create a landmark that celebrates literature, history, and the spirit of storytelling.
Why This Project Matters
Public art tells a story. It reflects our history, inspires conversation, and creates spaces where people connect. The Robert Louis Stevenson statue and bench will do just that—offering a unique place for readers, writers, and dreamers to gather while honoring one of literature’s most adventurous spirits.
But this project is about more than just a statue. It’s about preserving cultural heritage, enhancing our local library, and creating an inviting space for the community to enjoy.
Robert Louis Stevenson spent time in Napa Valley, finding inspiration for some of his most beloved works. By bringing this statue to the St. Helena Public Library, we pay tribute to his contributions and ensure that his influence continues to inspire all who visit.
Your support will help bring this project to life—making St. Helena a place where literature and art come together in a meaningful way.
