Draft CM183 Public Art Policy

Public art can tell stories, celebrate, beautify, inspire, connect, engage, and educate. Public art can both express and create our identity. Art has an important role in realising the vision of becoming a welcoming and thriving City. Some of the most recent public artworks commissioned by the City are the murals at Wharf Street Basin, Coker and Clifton Parks.
