Art in the Parks & the Placemaking Initiative
Local art that matters
Public art draws people into local establishments by letting them interact with the art. They take photos. They study it. They share the moment. Everyone loves a good social media moment.
Small towns in larger cities have started realizing that public art enhances the visitor experience, which then leads them to talk about it, or better yet, post about it on social media. Having people post local art on social media is free advertising for the city. Local art helps bring attention to small businesses!
Public art is free and available 24/7, therefore making it the best marketing campaign a city can have to attract a wide range of people at all hours of the day.

Public Art is the latest, and greatest tool for communities to encourage the redevelopment of urban areas. It invites commerce and retail while visually enhancing blighted areas.
If you’re an artist, business, or a representative of the city or municipality contact us on how you can be featured. If you know of public art and it’s not on our site, please let us know!
