Public art stimulates learning and thought about art and society,
about our interconnected lives, and about the social sphere as a whole.
Public art isuniquely accessible and enables people to experience art in the course of daily life, outside of museums or other cultural institutions.
Public art provides everyone in the community direct and ongoing encounters with art.
It engages social interaction—both during the selection process and
following installation.
And, an artwork can lead the viewer toward self-reflection and awareness.
