Which is about the Public Art in Santa Maria from an analysis of Eduardo Kobra's work in regarding local art and the main influencers in / to the field of Public Art. In whose perspective on the local art, it was based in Folletto and Bisoning (2001). The artist is approached by the angle of his relationship to art in urban spaces since his inclusion in the respective field through graffiti to projects developed at present time. From the contextualization of Kobra's work in Santa Maria, it was aimed to make an analysis of his reverberations to / on Public Art and the artistic community, more specifically to groups of artists who produce their works in the municipal urban spaces. In addition to discuss relations with the public and with the promoters of works in public spaces and their constraints when selecting works and artists to exhibit. The study, in the course of the interviews and the local view analysis, proved to be relevant by the thoughts and questions that the work brought to light on the art scene before the clash between the visual arts and the performance of government and social interactions that the work allowed between Public Art and the public from a recognition of the local history and its art.
