Public Art
Quotes:
“Public art brings variety, energy and life to our public spaces. The One Percent for Art Program compliments this town's thriving art community and it serves as a testimonial to our elected officials' dedication to the city's cultural heritage and vision for the future.”

Annotated Bibliography:
Knight, Cher. Public Art. City: Wiley-Blackwell, 2008.
This book will provide you with a nice overview of the history and development of public art in the United States. It features the most famous and well-known examples of public art in the country and talks about the use of public art in commercial instances as well as fine art purposes.
Relation:
I am beginning to consider my chalk drawings public art. I hadn't thought of it this way in the past, but I am realizing that this particular aspect of the Future Campaign has an air of public art to it. It is a public piece purposefully placed in a place where it will be seen by people outside of a gallery. I think the term "public art" relates to my work more and more as I work on spreading the word through chalk text. The other facets of this project won't necessarily be "public art," but this type of art is definitely similar to my chalk drawings.
