Art in Public Spaces

Art in Public Spaces is a development from Art in the Garden, which offered artists a chance to present thought-provoking conceptual pieces. The public spaces also provided space for voluminous works such as installation pieces and huge sculptural works which one may never encounter in any of the galleries. This project is to create a platform for direct interaction between the public and artists whilst increasing the interest and appreciation of art by the Ghanaian community. Physical interaction within an urban context helps to break down barriers that restrict many from gaining a natural artistic perspective.
