"[Public art] should be accessible visually & physically to the public. Installed specifically in both outdoor & indoor public places. Public arts seeks out the embodiment of the public or universal concepts, rather than commercial, partisan, or public concepts or interest." - Cher Krause Knight

"Public art brings art closer to life." - Mary Jane Jacob

"Art publicness rests in the quality and impact of its exchange with its audiences. At its most public, art extends opportunities for community engagement but cannot demand particular conclusion. It introduces social ideals but leaves room for the public to come to their own conclusions." - Cher Krause Knight
