How Public Art enhances the world we live in, with FrancisKnight co-founder Louise Francis

How does Public Art play a beneficial role for people and the environment we live in? If you’re interested in how art in our public spaces can improve our lives and our environment listen to my guest this week Louise Francis, co-founder with Laura Knight of FrancisKnight, an Award-winning independent public art consultancy, working with and supporting artists to create public realm art across the UK to add value and impact; celebrating a place, its people and history with a strong emphasis on community engagement.  Louise shares how they give artists the opportunity to respond to, make work for and celebrate our public spaces- highlighting how public art helps connect  the identity of a place with the community that uses it.  She shows us the important role that artists play in weaving their work into the fabric of our public lives to improve our sense of place and our connection with it.
