Question one
Art has been in existence for thousands of years. Art is an avenue of expressing oneself and connecting with the community around us more profoundly and personally. Art is more than a paintbrush on a canvas-it is a piece of our imaginations brought into existence in a film, song, painting, or a piece of literature (Lambert 13). Art, such as public art, is a responsibility, considering its interaction with society. Public art communicates community values, improves our surroundings, and changes the landscape. Public art is a form of communal expression by incorporating the community directly in its creation and delivery or merely by announcing the criteria in a request for artists. As a result, public art has the role of reflecting and elevating public dialogue. Public art may also be a part of social interaction in which our environment stimulates, relax, or unite us. Public art reflects our changing society and an embodiment of our shared story that has become our shared history through time. It's a chance for us to leave our stamp on history. Public art displays our culture's beliefs and the importance we have on society and social connections. Public art enriches our public life and is an essential component of a genuinely democratic society in which we join time and space.
Art museums carry these responsibilities today by providing insights into humanity's past and learning valuable lessons. Museums help us build unity and connection rather than division by giving us examples of past bad behaviour and its consequences (Duncan 106). On a sociopolitical level, galleries and museums bring people together. Facilities like this serve as a pleasant reflection of local accomplishments and breakthroughs, drawing societies closer.
As we emerge from the pandemic conditions, museums are responsible for strengthening social unity, enhancing creativity, and promoting inspiration, education, and collective memory. They also have a responsibility in promoting tourism to enhance the development of the economy to overcome the current crisis. Museums contribute to the education of future societies. From establishing child-friendly displays to educating youngsters in a digital learning environment, organizations all around the globe are doing their share to pass along information (Lambert 17). This course has helped me a great deal in giving me an insight into understanding how the museum world interacts with my studies. In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, museums in the country closed, and they only opened a few months ago. I would encourage the museums and galleries to increase their internet presence to reach even those who cannot physically access them due to the pandemic's restrictions. Everyone now has fast access to art visuals on the internet. Museums must provide a compelling rationale for visitors to pay to see the genuine item. Offering more insightful data about the culture and art at the exhibits is one approach to provide that worth. Explain to the audience why they must be there in simple terms.
