SUMMARY:Public Arts Strategy Consulation Event
DTSTART:20141212T143000Z
DTEND:20141212T173000Z
DESCRIPTION:Public Art has the potential to challenge perceptions\, en
 able people to understand the world they live in\, as well as contribu
 te to a number of priority outcomes in Birmingham. Most obviously\, th
 ese include providing a focus for local community identity\, improving
  wellbeing and attracting visitors. This meeting will be an opportunit
 y to take part in important discussions about our city’s public art:
  managing the current portfolio of work and the aspirations (and fundi
 ng opportunities) for the future art.\n\n In 2014-15\, Birmingham City
  Council will work with partners to replace Birmingham’s Cultural St
 rategy 2010-15 (Big City Culture) with a new vision reflecting the cur
 rent economic\, social and political context. A Public Art Strategy wi
 ll sit within this new framework.\n\n While strategies have been devel
 oped for individual sites and developments since and have largely been
  led by Planning requirements\, this will be the first citywide strate
 gy for Public Art since 2002 and will reflect a wider range of conside
 rations including funding mechanisms\, quality and impact\, local enga
 gement\, siting and maintenance.\n\nPublic Art commissioning and maint
 enance responsibilities cross over a range of Birmingham City Council 
 services\, and increasingly involve private sector developers\, Busine
 ss Improvement Districts and other public sector and voluntary bodies 
 engaged in developing the city infrastructure\, therefore representati
 on from a wide-range of sectors is encouraged: developers and business
 es\; schools\; higher and further education sector\; health sector\; c
 ommunity organisations and residents groups\; housing sector\; environ
 mental sector\; heritage and cultural sector\; planners\; artists\; ar
 chitects\; engineers\; urban and landscape designers\; transport and i
 nfrastructure sector - all contributions will be hugely valued.
