WHY PUBLIC ART?
At SCAN we believe in the value of making art public, therefore, making art accessible without any barriers. By creating exhibitions in unused storefronts, we are bringing our streetscapes and town buildings to life, and encouraging conversations within our community. Public art boosts economies - it attracts citizens and visitors to our downtown to appreciate the art, while also supporting restaurants, shops, local bed and breakfasts and other places during their stay. In addition, public art creates supportive learning environments and raises public awareness about important community issues, such as environmental stewardship and respect for diversity. We hope you will take a walk around Scottsville to see the work SCAN has done in collaboration with the Town of Scottsville, artists, and other organizations.
This project was supported in part by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, which receives support from the Virginia General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
