What is public art and why is it important?
Public art is artwork created for public spaces, intended to be accessible to everyone. It can take many forms, including sculptures, murals, performances, and digital installations, often reflecting the cultures and identities of communities. At its best, public art enhances the visual and emotional landscape of cities, fostering a sense of place and belonging. It can spark dialogue, inspire creativity and address social or historical themes, making art a shared experience.
