What is Public Art?
Public art is art of any medium that is created to engage and is accessible to the public. Some guidelines for public art. Public art can be installed in outdoor spaces, indoor venues, or even on privately owned property, as long as the general public is able to engage and experience the artwork either physically or visibly. Public art often is site specific or responsive, has an element of community involvement, participates in a public process, and offers a universality in experience, without personal or commercial bias.
