Definition: From Wikipedia
The term public art properly refers to works of art in any media that have been planned and executed with the specific intention of being sited or staged in the physical public domain, usually outside and accessible to all.
Simply put – it is art in the public realm or [in-your-face art]
Public Art can be monumental and iconic or humble and obscure.
Integrated into the streetscape or landscape if is sometimes relatively unnoticed.
Or, it can become part of the daily lives of citizens and an attraction for visitors

“Public Art plays two roles in a community. It helps to create an authentic sense of place and serves as a tool for revitalization…………
The art has to be consistent with the vitality and soul of the community.” Richard Florida, interview with Public Art Review, Nov. 2008
