Public art

Public art enriches the places and spaces where we live, work, and play. It visually enhances our landscapes. It creates interactions between our communities and its environment. It adds artistic and creative dimensions to our civic spaces. Public art means a vibrant quality of life and a strong creative economy. It generates value by supporting artists and related businesses. It encourages outdoor activity and supports tourism. Most importantly, we believe it often encourages dialogue between strangers, prompts children to pose questions (and often times silly commentary), and provides moments for one to simply stop and contemplate.
