Art and public space
Public or community art projects bring culture closer to people and are a mean of urban regeneration, education and empowerment of the citizen within the city.
What at first glance is a purely aesthetic intervention, if carried out within social participation projects generates new dynamics in the area, dignifies the public space and gives identity and voice to groups or demands. The role of art in the design, maintenance and development of cities goes through a humanistic and community vision with the aim of improving people’s quality of life.
Non-permanent art displays and works also help bring art closer to citizens and provide artists with opportunities.
