Education and outreach is paramount as part of a comprehensive public art program. Public art initiated without dialogue and educational opportunities often incites a controversial reaction from a segment of the public. Due to its democratic nature, public art is often a platform for the expression of political ideas or communication, or for the representation of power within a community. Education and outreach strategies manage expectations of the public, to promote the understanding that the public deserves free art with a dynamic, inspiring, and challenging collection of public artwork.
