Public Art.

Public Art is art that is accessible to everyone. Public Art is especially significant within the art world, amongst curators, commissioning bodies and practitioners of public art, to whom it signifies a particular working practice, often with implications of site specificity, community involvement and collaboration. The term is sometimes also applied to include any art which is exhibited in a public space including publicly accessible buildings. Monuments, memorials and civic statuary are a few examples of public art. Some say that architectural detail is more widespread and fulfills the definition of public art. Increasingly most aspects of the built environment are seen as legitimate candidates for consideration as, or location for, public art, including, street furniture, lighting and graffiti. Public can be more than just physical works; dance, procession, street theatre even poetry have proponents that specialize in public art.
