Public art in Vantaa
Vantaa is a strong patron of public art, and the artwork exhibited around the city, from graffiti to sculptures and light art, give the city a unique feel.
Public art is permanently included in the planning of new residential and urban areas and it is linked to the architecture programme of the City of Vantaa. It contributes to urban vitality, communality and resident well-being.
Public art is seen essential to the local identity of the city, reinforcing its aesthetic, social and economic value. Public art is a visible result of communal, long-term cooperation. The works created as part of the city’s public art projects are incorporated into the collection of the Vantaa Art Museum Artsi.
