Art in a Semi Public Space

Art in public spaces is not as common as it should be. Many a times it is not given the importance it deserves for it is a yarn that weaves many communities and gives them their identity. Unconventional interaction of elements and urban scenery bringing people together who can identify with the art being represented. A way to think out of the boxes inside our everyday routine and be able to add a little sugar into our lives to keep us sane, coexisting, and tender.

I could not help think what if the art which is display inside the malls (a private building) where many gather and interact by consumerism can be actually more democratic. What if instead of us witnessing great unconventional fashion designs  and hearing classical music in the malls of Boston we could come across it in the streets where most of us will encounter it without the goal of acquiring a material possession. Art in public spaces has been always present on and off in just about any main city, however its inconsistency is a testament of how much art is underrepresented yet needed.

Below are the great creation by Bay State College Fashion Students bringing a little sparkle to the frenzy of Christmas gift shopping at Northshore Mall.
