Public Art Guidance

Closed 24 Oct 2022

Opened 21 Sep 2022

Overview

This document aims to guide the Council when considering the commissioning and caretaking of public art in Aberdeen by setting out clear objectives for public art, a clarification of policies, process, and the means of implementation.

It provides guidance for elected members, designers, developers, creative practitioners, individuals, organisations, planners and communities who have an interest in developing temporary and *permanent public art work, or a decision making role in approving proposals with a relevance to public art.

Public art has an important role in the city. It should be enjoyed by locals and visitors alike and should enhance Aberdeen’s reputation as a cultural destination bringing people together to celebrate our heritage and shape our future.
