Great cities and communities have art in public places. Public art can contribute to the transformation of the urban landscape. It can celebrate and commemorate 'place' and provide a contemporary response to cultural and historical contexts, acting as a means for engaging with the community.
The successful implementation of art into public places relies upon best practice frameworks to encourage collaboration between all those involved in the development and installation of the art; from artist, to architect, project manager, community etc. There are good examples of government guidelines on public art which the Institute supports and encourages across the tiers of governments.
