●About Public Arts
The concept of public arts became highly popular in major cities around the world during the past decades. Not until 1992 when Culture and Art Support Statute was enacted in Taiwan did people grow familiar with this term and apply the concept in cityscape building islandwide. Through installations of public, the government, the creating artists and the general public are brought even closer.
The purpose of public art installations to enhance the sense of beauty of the public environment and to provide the public with living spaces rich in cultural contents and aesthetic perceptions. Only after the public become closer with arts and more willing to participate in art activities can the spiritual life of citizens in Taiwan be elevated and the national cultural construction promoted.
