Wakefield Public Art Framework

The Details

In 2020, *Consultancy was appointed to develop and deliver a comprehensive Public Art Framework for Wakefield. *Consultancy undertook a period of desk research and consultation with key stakeholders before delivering a series of targeted workshops with cultural institutions, collectives, infrastructure providers and local authority representatives.

The Framework recognises Wakefield’s position as the home of UK sculpture, offering up means for connecting urban and rural destinations as well as the possibilities for new delivery models post-Covid, providing a road map for the delivery of best practice art commissioning in the UK’s home of sculpture.

The Framework supports Wakefield’s overall vision for delivering an outstanding public art offer that is relevant to local communities and their sense of identity, reflecting the unique character of Wakefield and the wider district.
