About the Public Art Resource Guide
Art in public spaces plays a distinguishing role in our country’s history and culture. It reflects and reveals our society, enhances meaning in our civic spaces, and adds uniqueness to our communities. Public art humanizes the built environment and it provides an intersection between past, present, and future between disciplines and ideas. Public art matters because communities gain cultural, social, and economic value and community identity through public art.
This document is designed as both an educational tool for those making the case for public art in their community and a key sightseeing guide for anyone to explore the investment in our public art sites throughout Rio Rancho, the City of Vision.
