Public art is extremely complex.   The real craft behind public art is the work behind it. The research that goes into the design before a pencil is picked up and a line drawn.   The artist must consider the people, community, location and the hidden details that make the place unique.   Public artists are not just artists, they are sociologists, physiologists, and psychologists.  They study humans and capitalize on this information to design captivating art and create places.

They create art that speaks to the public in a sophisticated way, expanding ideas and concepts.  While it remains accessible and inclusive.

It has the possibility to transform a space and in turn rebuild perceptions of the community.  It can beautify a building, create a place where tourists visit or become the symbol of a city.  Public art is a true craft much more complex than art in its true form. (Painting is a painting) Public art is a tool and platform, for people to engage, connect, converse, and create, within neighborhoods and communities across creative and cultural boundaries.

Public art has limitless possibilities to challenge and uplift humans.  It can transform the environment and draw our attention to better ourselves.      Just like a great comedian, they have studied humans and can see the beauty.  They make art with this knowledge as their foundation.

Public art is inclusive.  Public art is for the public and at its foundation it should consider the location and people.
