community art
Local collaborative expression
Community art is creative work made collaboratively by non-professionals, often facilitated by artists working with neighborhood groups, schools, or social organizations.
The emphasis falls on participation and shared ownership rather than individual artistic vision: The mural was a community art project involving dozens of local teenagers.
Community art typically addresses local concerns or celebrates shared identity.
