The Role of Public Art in Community Engagement

FAQ About The Role of Public Art in Community Engagement

How is public art maintained?

Maintaining public art involves regular cleaning, repairs, and sometimes restoration work to address wear and damage from weather or vandalism. Maintenance responsibilities often fall to the commissioning body, such as local governments or arts organizations. Contracts with artists may include maintenance provisions, and sometimes communities establish "friends of" groups to help support public art upkeep.
