About
The Avenue Concept's mission has four main elements:
We Believe:
-
Art belongs in public spaces
-
Both art and public spaces bring people together
-
The public has a right to experience and interact with art in everyday life
-
Public art enlivens and improves cities and adds value to public spaces
-
Public art should invite engagement and interaction, not passive observation
-
Art tells stories and creates dialogues
