ABSTRACT

Public art is art in any media whose form, function and meaning are created for the general public through a public process.This free of charge museum creates a space where public art can be displayed, appreciated and enjoyed by all people. Moving through the Museum of Public Art, guests will engage in public sculpture, murals, and environmental art exhibitions as well as exhibits on the facade of the building and the adjacent park. These exibitions will be curated by public artists without guidance from the museum and can be put up and taken down at the artists leisure. MPI’s mission is to showcase art that is rarely given a dedicated space while avoiding the ‘white box’ gallery that public artists tend to stay away from.
