Access Tools

By public art we mean temporary or permanent pieces of visual art as well as some performance art that are placed in our local communities e.g. parks, healthcare settings, schools, sides of buildings, town centres etc.

They can be murals, sculptures, installations and other products that help improve the quality of the environment.

The Arts Service works in a number of different ways to support public art programmes. We can:

• Deliver programmes that bring together professional artists with community groups and organisations to create public art
• Support organisations develop ideas and the delivery of projects that create public art
• Support groups and organisations in identifying and applying for funding for public art projects

Supporting local art groups and artists

Are you a member of local visual arts group or an amateur artist?

The Arts Service can help support you by letting you know of opportunities for exhibiting, link you to visual arts groups in the borough, invite you to openings and include you in workshops with professional artists.

We can also help support you in identifying funding for your work or group and help you develop a new direction or style of work.
