Helping Public Art Happen Well: Findings from place-based commissioning
Tuesday 19th November 2.00 - 3.30pm – free
ixia, with funding from Arts Council England, has been supporting three councils developing public art commissioning projects planned as part of Levelling Up or Town's Fund programmes. This webinar will share recommendations arising from work with Barnsley, Darlington and St Helens councils, focused on what works best in relation to early planning and governance approaches for public art commissions. We will hear from Susie Gray, ixia's Pilot Programme Manager, pilot advisors and and participating councils. They will reflect on current challenges and learnings that will help enable successful public art commissions that improve places to be realised. There will be time for discussion.
To sign up to receive the webinar link, RSVP to ixiaprojects@gmail.com by 5pm Friday November 15th.
Further info: in 2024, advisors Hazel Colquhoun, Fran Smith (Beam), and Emma Underhill (Founder & Associate Director, Up Projects) have been critical friends to Barnsley, Darlington and St Helens councils, helping to boost their knowledge and understanding of current contemporary public art practice and processes. Case study recommendations and public art precedents will be available here following the webinar. See also Public Art Support Pilot (2024)
