About us

Art in the Open is London’s advisor for art in the public realm. It has been developed by Open House as part of its commitment to London’s public places. Open House’s related initiatives across public engagement, education and design advocacy provide an overall perspective of London’s development.
 
Art in the Open works strategically to influence policy, raise debate and inform how London’s opportunities develop.  It advocates a more inspirational environment for London’s public realm and how it can be significantly enriched by the contribution of exemplary art. 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.
