"Art in public places has always been around. It was there in the squares and public plazas of Egyptian cities, in centres throughout pre-Columbian Mexico, in Athens and in Rome. Today you can find public art in New York, Chicago, Toronto, Vancouver and Regina!

Public art in contemporary society is a reminder of our values and who we are. It should be meaningful and accessible. It should enhance the visual landscape and stimulate the imagination of people in the communities where art is placed.

The purpose of public art installations should be to enrich the human spirit."
