Hello Public Art colleagues,
Wondering if anyone has done a recent re-evaluation of what exactly constitutes public space in public facilities. As I’m sure many forms of governments have been faced with, we are seeing more and more security gates and outright locked
doors being placed at the entry way of what used to be public reception areas, public meeting rooms and other public gathering spaces suitable for public art.
We are considering a major reassessment of our public spaces and just how accessible they are or should be to qualify for public art, in particular 2-D works of art placed on walls.
Thank you in advance for any policy or guidelines samples that address locked, or not freely accessible, public spaces.
Sincerely,
SHERRI BRUEGGEMANN
