Public Art Melbourne commissions art in the public realm, opening up city spaces for artists to create encounters with the unexpected for the people of Melbourne.
As one of Australia’s cultural capitals, we have a distinct and unique role to play in commissioning public art. Public art underpins our vision to be a bold, inspirational and sustainable city. The Public Art Framework outlines key principles to guide our investment in public art in Melbourne over the next 10 years. It will influence and shape all future commissions and programs by or on behalf of the City of Melbourne or its interests.
In the creation of public art, the City of Melbourne will foster appropriate engagement with the critical knowledge, values and insights of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin. We commission public art informed by the values and insights of Traditional Owners.
