New SM Action:

Create Public Art

Join Rhonda Dallas, Executive Director of the Prince George’s Arts & Humanities Council, on Wednesday, May 5, 2:00 – 3:00pm for an overview of the new SM Action – Create Public Art.

Learn how you can enhance meaning in your civic spaces, add uniqueness to your community, and humanize the built environment, while fostering economic development and a sense of place.

By engaging public art strategies as a tool for growth and sustainability, municipalities can thrive environmentally and economically while improving social cohesion.

Public art can provide benefits such as:

• Educating residents about historic events
• Fostering economic development
• Creating social cohesion by projecting a shared cultural identity within a community
• Developing a sense of place within the public realm
• Celebrating art and fostering support for regional artists
• Enhancing health and wellness by reducing stress and creating a sense of belonging
