How

Local authority policy can encourage art projects for the public realm. A range of projects has been realised over the last ten years as part of planning requirements between local authorities and developers. Projects are also realised through the interest of artists, curators and arts organisations and others through integrating opportunities as part of public realm and civic buildings.

Involvement in projects involving building works often means aligning with complicated procurement processes. Identifying funding early on in all projects is crucial and a core budget needs to be secured before going out to seek additional funding. Other sections of this website focus on the process of commissioning, the individual steps involved and identifying the expertise needed.
