Throughout history public art has continuously evolved, and with it, has its importance and our interpretation. So as modern artists broaden the already wide range of media that comprises public art, we see those effects in our communities more and more. From large sculptures to small street art to historical architecture and monuments, it goes beyond improving the aesthetic quality within a neighborhood. Public art can revitalize a community by increasing the levels of engagement and social connection.

Contemporary artists not only enhance the beauty of everyday life by making each community they touch more desirable, they also show how public art can function as a powerful catalyst for improved mental and physical health.
