How Public Art Benefits Everyone

 

Public art is an elegant way to brighten up a drab area. Everyone enjoys a beautiful piece of art that they can relate to. The movement to create more public art projects has been gaining momentum. Cities all across the United States are beginning to understand the value that such projects provide. The benefits of street art include:

 

  • Revitalizes a Drab Area: A bland side of a building, an empty lot, or a run-down house can all become a work of art through a public art project. It can give an area a facelift and make it more appreciated by the community.

 

  • Opportunities for Artists: Historically, artists do not benefit from the same economic opportunities as others. Many struggle to pay their bills and generate new business. Public art gives them an opportunity to display their skills and gain awareness.

 

  • Boosts Local Economies: Creating street art requires a lot of supplies and materials. Artists often purchase their materials from local suppliers. The art also has the chance to attract tourists and visitors to nearby restaurants, hotels, and other businesses.

 

  • Community Pride: The art can take a previous eyesore and make it a place to be proud of by the local residents. This helps them build a better sense of community as well.

 

  • Raises Public Awareness: Art can make statements too. It can raise awareness about social, economic, cultural, and environmental issues.
