GLC Art Scheme

The GLC Art Scheme, initiated by the Greater London Council in the 1980s, aimed to support and promote visual arts across London. It focused on increasing public access to art by commissioning new works for public spaces, encouraging local artists, and ensuring that art was integrated into urban development projects. The scheme sought to enhance community engagement with the arts, making cultural experiences more inclusive and visible to residents and visitors alike, ultimately enriching London's artistic landscape and fostering a greater appreciation for art within the city.
