Abstract:

Public art is art not housed in a museum but found in the everyday environment, like paintings on buildings. The now-defunct Artworks for State Buildings Program was a state-supported program for public art. In 2001, Jeffrey York started Creating Places: A Community Public Art and Design Initiative. The program's objective is to pair community leaders and artists in an effort to develop projects for a specific community, such as the Fish Walk in Morehead City.
