Cities gain cultural, social, and economic value through public art. As a distinguishing part of our shared history and evolving culture, it reflects and reveals society, adding singular meaning to our communities. Public art humanizes the built environment and invigorates public spaces. It provides a freely accessible intersection of past, present, and future ideals. Absent public art, we would be absent our human identities.
Public art creates civic icons and transforms our parks, playgrounds, train stations, hospitals, water treatment facilities, airports, and more into more vibrant expressions of human imagination. By building and reinforcing community culture, public art acts as a catalyst for community generation or regeneration. Public art can be very visible, large, permanent, and unmistakable as an art experience; but it can also be very subtle, short lived, or seamlessly integrated into one’s experience of a place. Public art matters.
Our distinct set of experiences has us singularly positioned to understand the evolving expectations of and opportunities for cultural placemaking and placekeeping. With a holistic approach, we consider micro and macro levels of each project. Delivering an exceptional project curated for a specific context always comes first, and we view all projects as an opportunity to shape, highlight, and honor the cultural landscape.
We also understand the intimate bond of local residents with their community and environment. A robust, continuous conversation with stakeholders is crucial to gaining a deep understanding of community identity, history, wishes, needs, questions, and concerns. We aim to foster and promote greater cultural understanding and appreciation between communities, while encouraging a sense of pride for locals. Our team is committed to delivering compelling, diversified, and harmoniously integrated world-class public art, while maximizing community engagement and celebrating each community’s unique identity, culture, and history.
