The phenomena of public art





These are pictures I took while wandering in downtown Grand Juction. I also have pictures from downtown New York and Denver. What it is about downtown that screams public art? In class, We discussed how certain areas used to contain the jobs and the Central Business District. Then with de-industrialization jobs moved out further along the fringes. Then we talked about the revival of downtown. I feel like public art is part of this movement to make the city more appealing to people.
