Public Art Enhances Our Lives Someone has stated that just as trees add oxygen to our natural environment, public art provides "oxygen" to our built environment. - VONNIE KOLBENSCHLAG By Vonnie Kolbenschlag Public art is a term for any art exhibited in a public space that is accessible to everyone.I would like to express appreciation for two public art pieces recently shown on CM. Dr. Max Downey's sculpture at 301 Burkesville Street and the flag/bench display at Betty's OKCC at 2339 Campbellsville Street.. The many flags on telephone poles fit that category too. Public Art can embrace many art forms and it creatively engages a sense of lifting one's spirits. More and more towns are realizing the need for public art and the improvement it makes to the appearance of the towns/cities. It may be thought provoking or entertaining. It adds quality to our lives. Both the above mentioned persons could have just put out a sign, but how much better for us to enjoy the art pieces. Someone has stated that just as trees add oxygen to our natural environment, public art provides "oxygen" to our built environment. --Vonnie Kolbenschlag Comments re photo 45586 Today Thursday June 14 2012 is Flag Day This story was posted on 2012-06-15 08:54:00
