Public spaces are, in general terms, "common use areas of community individuals". So, these areas are the common areas of community for sharing and interaction purposes. The semantic and formal structure of art that has changed after 1950 has shifted out of the galleries and exhibition halls and spread to public spaces. Public spaces have become exhibition areas for artists to form their artworks and present them to the local eyes. The places in which society and common spaces have become one with art reveals the socio-cultural structure and identity of the society. Today, public spaces are transformed into 'spaces where art and art work are presented (exhibited) by taking over the functions of exhibition rooms and gallery spaces of past periods. 'Art phenomenon' has been removed from the society and kept for the elite class. Public spaces have brought this 'art phenomenon' back to the community with contemporary art practices. We can express the whole of the arts performed in public spaces with the concept of 'public art'. Especially after the 1950s, many artistic insights were included in the public arts inventory. In the traditional art, people who are in a 'passive' position with respect to 'art', interact with art in public spaces and become 'active'. Art should be moved to areas where community life is intense. Art makes it aesthetically worthy by making the environment it is beautiful. Society creates 'cultural memory' by developing different perspectives against these areas where art touches. Roads, streets and squares are important areas that make up a city. The embracing of these fields in artificiality paves the way for the integration of art and society. When we look at relationship between art and society in the past, it is seen that the vast majority of the society is distant from art. One of the most important reasons for this is the try to imitate the understanding that art is monopolized by a particular class. Artwork in public spaces strengthens the connection between artist, art and society and enhances the view of society to the aesthetic level. The fact that art shows its presence in public spaces, which are the area of continuous use of society, changes the way individuals view these spaces. Art, in a way, allows to see what is invisible, and allows to notice what is unrecognized. Individuals are fed from the data base that they have provided visual culture while doing these inferences. Public art is to ensure that the society is aware of the environment in which it lives and that it acquires the consciousness of 'urban culture'. Public artwork plays an important role in the creation of permanent aesthetic urban textures, in increasing the susceptibility of the society to the living environment, and in the development of the relations between the individuals and their experiences. Public art aims to put an artistic point at the focal point of the material and spiritual cultural motivations that the society brings to life. The practice of art in public spaces and the maintenance of its permanence depend on the level of 'visual culture' of the society. In the development of the level of visual culture of a society, art activities that have many visuals in it are very important. In the research, the contribution of public art practices to society's memory of visual culture and the effects of artistic activities in the public sphere on society has been tried to be determined. Conclusions and recommendations have been developed in the light of the obtained information and documents. In the study, the screening method was used in the collection process of the data “By ‘Public Space’ concept primarily we mean that there is a space, an area, in which a public opinion alike exists within our community. It is ensured that every single citizen has access to this mentioned space” (Habermas, 2015a: 95). “The connection between the identity and the place lies behind the space primarily being a phenomenon as if crop field and a residential district that is formed in the hands locals” (Erzen, 2015: 161). The public spaces of a town are no different than a photograph of the whole town. They reflect the town itself. The approach of the community towards the public spaces is slightly different than towards any other thing. Public spaces are the identity of the town in the people’s eyes. This aspect of public spaces has opened its arms for artistic motivations. The organizations that has brought art and the society together will enhance the cultural level of every single person. According to Bardard, anything an eye can see must be categorized as visual culture. “‘Thing an eye can see’ cannot be defined without conceiving questions such as ‘How such concept as nature’s interpreted?” (Barnard, 2010: 27-28). “A person crosses with visual culture in not a single day of his life, but in each day. In visual culture notion, sense, and pleasure are about the visual happenings transmitted by visual technologies that are sought by consumers” (Mirzoeff, 1999: 3). “In a culture in which there are visuals, we live in a society of demonstration of symbols and images. We are surrounded by images, and we have plenty of theories about them” (Mitchell, 1994: 5-6). Eyesight is one of the most important organs mankind possess. This organ is used for both explanation and examination as if it’s a device made for that purpose (Leppert, 2009: 37). Visual culture is a reflex against visual revolution or hegemony in modern culture. Visual culture is based on visual media and a domination of speech, writing, textuality and visual expression on the oral activities of reading. Often, hearing and touching is probably a booty in the age of visualization (Mitchell, 2002: 172). Cultural textures that enter the visual culture cluster are "... fluidity, new formations; It contains the forms of resistance "(Akay, 2002: 60). "Visual culture has been seen in recent years as a hybrid initiative that unifies the data obtai
