THINGS TO DO: Spotlight On PUBLIC ART

Lewiston and Auburn embrace public art to promote cultural, aesthetic, and economic vitality. From crosswalks with pavement murals for pedestrian safety and neighborhood identity, to commissioned significant works by Maine sculptors at major gateways, local public art adds to the quality Courtesy Sun Journal reporter Daryn Slover of life for both residents and visitors. With increased investments in public art each year, the urban visual landscape is becoming activated with public art to both reflect the community’s heritage and envision an increasingly diverse and welcoming future. This is especially evident in neighborhoods and small parks where works have been installed by artists after resident participation to ensure that public art is a true reflection of the community.
