The presence of art in public places is one of the indicators of a flourishing cultural life. It can add joy, texture and complexity to the public domain, help to define our places, tell our stories, and preserve our memories for future generations.
The City of Sydney's program for public art is broad, diverse and complex. It includes new commissions of permanent works and temporary art installations; programs for the maintenance and conservation of the City's collection; education, communication and mentoring initiatives; and a framework of policy, strategy and guideline documents that articulate the vision and the process for implementation.
The City Art website is an important part of this. It tells the stories behind the sculptures, monuments, fountains, murals and memorials in the City's care, and provides information about the way they are cared for and the City's Conservation Program.
It also provides information about the City's Public Art Advisory Panel and the philosophy, policy and implementation strategy for planning and delivering public art. There is information about the commissioning process for new public art and updates on new projects.
The website is intended to grow over time. We are now working to include information on all public art in Sydney, and we are reviewing and improving public art processes and documents. We are always happy to hear your views and look forward to your comments on City Art.
