Public Art

Public art is not an art form, but a principle of improving the changing environment through the arts, placing art work in areas other than conventional arts venues. There are numerous examples of public art in Lancaster District, from the Queen Victoria monument in Dalton Square to contemporary commissions such as the TERN project in Morecambe.
