Public Art Framework 2021-31
Endorsed in November 2021, the City of Melbourne’s Public Art Framework 2021-2031 guides our future investment in public art for Melbourne over the next 10 years.
The framework sets the direction for the operational and capital investment in public art projects, and highlights the important role our creative industries play in our social reactivation and economic recovery. As one of the nation’s leading cultural capitals, we have a distinct and unique role to play in commissioning public art. By advocating for, and developing ambitious public art projects, we are drawing residents, workers and visitors back into the city and its businesses so that Melbourne can reaffirm its position as the world’s most liveable and creative city.
The delivery of the public art program and endorsement of the Public Art Framework is a major initiative under City of Melbourne’s Council Plan 2021-25 and draws direction from the City of Melbourne’s Economic Development Strategy 2031.
