SUMMARY:Public Arts Strategy Consulation Event
DTSTART:20141212T143000Z
DTEND:20141212T173000Z
DESCRIPTION:Public Art has the potential to challenge perceptions\, enable 
 people to understand the world they live in\, as well as contribute to a n
 umber of priority outcomes in Birmingham. Most obviously\, these include p
 roviding a focus for local community identity\, improving wellbeing and at
 tracting visitors. This meeting will be an opportunity to take part in imp
 ortant discussions about our city’s public art: managing the current por
 tfolio of work and the aspirations (and funding opportunities) for the fut
 ure art.\n\n In 2014-15\, Birmingham City Council will work with partners 
 to replace Birmingham’s Cultural Strategy 2010-15 (Big City Culture) wit
 h a new vision reflecting the current economic\, social and political cont
 ext. A Public Art Strategy will sit within this new framework.\n\n While s
 trategies have been developed for individual sites and developments since 
 and have largely been led by Planning requirements\, this will be the firs
 t citywide strategy for Public Art since 2002 and will reflect a wider ran
 ge of considerations including funding mechanisms\, quality and impact\, l
 ocal engagement\, siting and maintenance.\n\nPublic Art commissioning and 
 maintenance responsibilities cross over a range of Birmingham City Council
  services\, and increasingly involve private sector developers\, Business 
 Improvement Districts and other public sector and voluntary bodies engaged
  in developing the city infrastructure\, therefore representation from a w
 ide-range of sectors is encouraged: developers and businesses\; schools\; 
 higher and further education sector\; health sector\; community organisati
 ons and residents groups\; housing sector\; environmental sector\; heritag
 e and cultural sector\; planners\; artists\; architects\; engineers\; urba
 n and landscape designers\; transport and infrastructure sector - all cont
 ributions will be hugely valued.
