- Community-based Art is Unique The community-based process is an effective way to create public art with benefits that reach farther than the artwork itself. The group of people engaged for discussion of content, materials and technique has a unique opportunity to teach and learn from each other. New relationships are created in the context of the project schedule, and new craft and social skills are acquired, making this an ideal community building tool. The level of aesthetic excellence of the finished artwork depends entirely on the design and teaching ability of the lead artist boosted by enthusiastic participation and commitment of many community members. This shared effort makes for a sense of real ownership and accomplishment for all.
