John,

When we use public art to revitalize shared spaces, we have a chance to reimagine our approaches to today's biggest challenges -- and spark the inspiration, collaboration, and creativity it takes to get big things done.

Our latest Building the Future video looks at the role public art can play in improving quality of life in our communities. Will you take a moment to watch?

Over the years, Bloomberg Philanthropies has supported public art projects that sparked conversation and engagement on a range of community issues:

Through public art, we can see the people behind the issues, and understand the history that led to the moment we're in. Adding creative changes to public places can subtly shift behaviors, and shine a light on things we otherwise might have missed. And public art projects bring people together -- mayors, artists, educators, police officers, and many more -- to communicate, collaborate, and build community ties.
