Art in Public Spaces, #16
Art in public spaces brings art to where people naturally congregate. It beautifies and activates spaces, reflects heritage and supports placemaking. The creative spirit is formidable. Art can be part of the disruption as well as part of the problem solving and healing process. Throughout COVID, artists and creatives inspired us, enriched us, entertained us, and kept us socially connected while we needed to be physically distant. The arts bring people of diverse backgrounds and points of view together to share a cultural exchange, prompting us to enjoy differences and celebrate commonalities; inviting us to think, feel, and perhaps do something differently.
