Welcome to the intersection of art and place, a space public artists call home. This intersection is also key to creative placemaking, an economic concept that has recently exploded into an international movement. In this issue, we report on the relationship between public art and placemaking and talk with artists who think deeply about place. We’re also delighted to introduce you to the International Award for Public Art and the finalists being honored for excellence in placemaking. We hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration in these pages.
