Delivering strategic approaches to public art for urban regeneration and property development.
Culturally-led regeneration is seen as a means to enliven and humanise public spaces and create meaningful places that encourage people to visit and revisit – developing a distinctive identity and an authentic sense of place.
Harnessing the arts makes the built environment more attractive to residents and visitors, and ensures that developments reach the highest standards of both commercial and community viability. Increasingly this is what local authorities, planners and developers are looking for – art with an integrity and dialogue that goes beyond the initial visual impact.
Our strategy work combines our expertise in delivering public art projects with sophisticated research and analysis to develop comprehensive public art strategies for the urban realm. We work closely with architects, developers, designers and local authorities to ensure visionary approaches that preface art and culture as an integral part of sustainable, vibrant communities.
