This document summarizes a meeting of the Cardiff Civic Society discussing public art in Cardiff. It discusses the goals of public art programs, including humanizing cities, strengthening civic identity, stimulating local art, and bringing art to the public. The document outlines John Willett's past research on public art in Liverpool, which found that most monuments go unnoticed or are disliked, and that art must compete for attention. It then provides examples of public artworks in Cardiff and notes the city's efforts to catalog its collection. Goals for the future include better integration of art and its environments and involving local communities.
