Public Art

What is public art?

Camden Council defines public art this way:

Public Art refers to any artistic work or activity designed and created by professional arts practitioners for the public domain. Defined broadly, public art includes a range of artistic expressions that are accessible to the public and can be temporary, permanent, or ephemeral in nature. These works may be situated in or integrated into public open spaces, buildings, or facilities, including façade elements provided by either the public or private sector. Public art does not include commemorative works, such as memorials or plaques. It may take the form of
sculpture, murals, installations, light projections, multimedia works, or performances. The intent of public art is to engage communities, enhance public spaces, foster a sense of pride, and deepen connections to place.
