Community sounding at Waterside Inn Congress Centre exploring a vision for public art in Port Credit. We all envision creating an improved community, where quality of living, working and recreation would be proudly present. Strong community identity, a unique urban experience and a rich cultural message of a distinctive destination can be communicated with the help of art.
The term public art properly refers to works of art in any media that has been planned and executed with the specific intention of being sited or staged in the physical public domain, usually outside and accessible to all. The term is especially significant within the art world, amongst curators, commissioning bodies and practitioners of public art, to whom it signifies a particular working practice, often with implications of site specificity, community involvement and collaboration. The term is sometimes also applied to include any art which is exhibited in a public space including publicly accessible buildings.
