Public art has long been a feature of public spaces across our towns and cities. Historically it was seen purely as municipal sculpture in urban settings, but in reality it can be based in both urban and rural areas, and be anything from village signs to paving; street lighting to park benches, and even bus shelters!
If you want to create local public spaces that truly reflect the unique character and heritage of your area, then working with an artist can help.
