Public Art Commission

A Public Art Commission is a formal process where a city, organization, or institution funds and invites artists to create artworks—in public spaces like parks, streets, or buildings. The goal is to enhance community environment, stimulate public engagement, and reflect local culture or history. The process typically involves selecting an artist through proposals, discussions, and approvals. The commissioned artwork becomes a permanent or temporary part of the public landscape, accessible to all. Public Art Commissions foster creativity, cultural dialogue, and community identity while respecting the site and audience.
