Creative placemaking harnesses the power of arts and culture to allow for more genuine public engagement.
Public Art is a gateway to the soul of a community, especially for visitors experiencing a destination for the first time.
Incorporating Art into public spaces leads to greater foot traffic and economic activity, which benefits businesses that own or operate commercial properties near these spaces.
Research has revealed that many people want to live near public Art, and strong evidence exists that people's moods or health can improve when they interact with or simply observe public Art. Important findings have even resulted in medical professionals prescribing activities such as "art walks" for their patients.
People are 50% more likely to hang out in public spaces with art.
