a place for public creativity
“In public spaces, you are directly present. You can interact with other people, you can watch them with your own senses – as opposed to seeing pictures on TV”

The experience of visiting an art exhibition can be transformative. It encourages viewers to see the world through the eyes of the artist, sparking dialogue around themes such as identity, culture, and social issues. Many exhibitions also include artist talks, workshops, or guided tours, enhancing the engagement and understanding of the works presented.
In addition to promoting individual artists, exhibitions play a crucial role in community building, bringing people together to appreciate and celebrate art. They can foster local pride and support artistic expression within the community, turning art into an accessible and integral part of everyday life.
