Abstract:
A new trend is spreading in public art spaces. Instead of artists creating a sculpture or installment without the public’s input, artists are teaming up with residents to create collaborative art installations. In Sanford, Wilson, Raleigh, and Apex citizens are helping artists connect with society and allowing them to use their talents and skills for the greater good. This will lead to a greater appreciation of artists in society and a sense of community after collaborating on the public art projects.
