ixia - public art think tank, with funding from Arts Council England, has been supporting three councils to develop public art commissioning projects planned as part of Levelling Up or Town's Fund programmes. Our Founder and Artistic Director Emma Underhill has been acting as an advisor to the scheme, the results of which you can now listen to in a recording of the webinar ‘Helping Public Art Happen Findings from place-based commissioning’. This webinar shares recommendations arising from work with Barnsley, Darlington and St Helens councils, focused on what works best in relation to early planning and governance approaches for public art commissions.

The City of Vaughan is committed to integrating art into the public realm by fostering a creative environment where artistic talent can flourish. That’s why we have put out a call for local emerging and established artists interested in contributing to the ARTonBOXES Program. Ten original art designs themed around the ART of HEALING will be selected for installation on traffic signal boxes around Vaughan. The notion of healing is completely open to artists’ interpretation and may be abstract or representational. Artists are encouraged to convey the theme through depictions that resonate with personal meaning or might generate reflection and dialogue in the public realm. 📰 For more information, read the City’s latest news release: https://lnkd.in/ePxswyzY
