Knokke-Heist has a very diverse cultural offer. The municipality is not only a place of tradition, but moreover a place of renewal and broadening. Knokke-Heist is a creative town that attracts talented artists. But it is also a city of participants: a municipality that believes that the involvement of the population in the cultural life is of great importance.
Art in public spaces means: all spaces that are accessible to the public. Those public spaces are not homogenous or uniform: they consist of several places that have all been embedded in a neighbourhood and a surrounding. We also set goals for our vision on art in public spaces. We do not simply want to drop art in a public space; we want to integrate it in a way that can create meaning and promote encounters. And we want to realise this together with the inhabitants and users for whom those artworks are intended.
