Wyndham City Council’s 10 Year Art Plan 2022-2032 has been given the green light by Council, with the plan set to guide the City’s work over the next decade to ensure it continues to grow as a creative hub.
A council spokesperson said that public art plays an important role in enhancing a city’s identity, contributes to cultural life and is central to the ongoing development of Wyndham as a vibrant, creative and engaged City.
The plan, developed with public art consultants T Projects, was produced following extensive research, consultation and global benchmarking to understand priorities and look for opportunities.
Wyndham City Council Mayor, Peter Maynard, said, “Wyndham City aims to develop a world class public art program over the next ten years, delivering dynamic and contemporary public art in a creative celebration of place, culture and environment to our diverse community.
“The Public Art Plan sets out and provides a ten year projection regarding how public art programming will be delivered.
“To achieve our vision to develop a world class public art program we need a holistic approach through consultation, artist development, communication, education, engagement, research and evaluation.
“Our vision is to support and develop a public art collection of quality and regional significance.”
Council’s Public Art Collection is made up of permanent public artworks located in public spaces, pop-up inflatable artworks and temporary projects.
