Summary/Abstract: Currently, over half of the inhabitants of our globe live in urbanised areas. This has led to a significant increase in population density in cities over the last few decades, and thus has changed the lifestyle of their residents. In thousands of cities, it is increasingly difficult to find a pretext and the opportunity to establish closer relationships with the people around us. Artistic activities related to the creation and presentation of art in public spaces are one of the ways to activate the potential of urban residents. The aim of the article is to analyse five small-scale artistic activities defining spatial procedures, thanks to which positive effects can be achieved – socialising and making space more aesthetic.
