Public Art Policy
What Institute members need to do?
- encourage the inclusion of art to enhance the public dimension of any project,
- advocate and promote appropriate budgets for public art,
- acknowledge the unique character of public art projects by allocating sufficient time for delivering a public artwork,
- resist the erosion of public art budgets that can sometimes occur through project management and construction processes,
- encourage the engagement of a well qualified public art specialist for significant projects,
- invite artists to take part in the design process as early as possible,
- encourage artists and architects to understand cultural, historical, environmental and political context/significance of a place,
- engage with the community in the consultation process if possible (e.g. during schematic design stage).
