Focusing on one-square block at the epicenter of the White Plains’ business, residential, and leisure districts, 26 artists present imaginative concepts for ac- tivating downtown White Plains. Their artistic visions for the city’s most visited and trafficked corridor will give residents a sense of how public art can animate, distinguish, and enliven their streetscape.

What is Public Art? Public art is loosely defined as any work of art placed in the public realm for viewing. Site specific art is work that responds directly to the site in which it is intended, taking into account the

site’s natural and social history Barry Mason as well as its present use. Site Reflections specific public art has the potential to deepen public awareness of a neighborhood or district, and to draw additional creative energy to the area.
