Consultation has concluded


Art plays a vital role in creating a vibrant and thriving city. Art helps to create a sense of belonging and it contributes to identity through insight, reflection, and allowing a space for the expression of ideas. Public Art can encourage social, cultural and economic activity and be positive for existing or future residents, employers and investors.
