About us

Art in the Open is London’s advisor for art in the public realm. It has been developed by Open-City as part of its commitment to London’s public places. Open-City’s related initiatives across public programmes, education and advocacy provide an overall perspective of London’s development.
 
Art in the Open works strategically to raise the quality of London’s art in the public realm
by influencing policy, informing opportunities and creating debate.  It advocates a more inspirational environment for London’s public realm and how exemplary art in the public realm can enrich the experience of London significantly. It works to bring together those involved in the commissioning process including artists and architects; local authorities and regeneration agencies; developers; statutory bodies and other public sector commissioners.
 
Art in the Open undertakes independent research on how London’s art in the public realm can be developed – engaging with the general public and young people as well as the sector.
