Art Goes Public

Once art strays beyond the walls of the museum or gallery, it takes on a new life. Out in the world for everyone to see and enjoy, the possibilities open up in so many ways. In the public realm, art functions to explore the relationship between content and its audience. Its location, materials, value, permanency or size can be manipulated in wonderful ways, as the restrictions that affect art in traditional settings are virtually eliminated.

This leads to the kind of unbounded creativity that has added so much life to cities around the globe. As the practice becomes more popular, research has revealed that public art has a great ROI.
