INTRODUCTION, VISION AND VALUE

Great and Creative Cities gain cultural, social and economic value having art in public places.

Public Art captures the creativity and spirit of its people; it reflects and reveals our society, connecting people through shared experiences and memories, encouraging pride, creativity and discussion.

Public Art creates awareness and attraction to place; it instils legacy, meaning and identity to spaces and places throughout the City.

Recognising that public art is essential to the quality of life and identity of the City, Council supports the development of an internationally recognised, contemporary Public Art Program.

Public art plays a significant role in Adelaide City Council’s strategies to achieve the vision of One City, Many Places and is a key factor in the development of a vibrant city culture.

The Adelaide City Council’s Public Art Program and Public Art Action Plan 2014-2019 fosters opportunities for established and emerging visual artists, cultural and community groups and organisations to create new and innovative arts and cultural works and experiences throughout the City.

It will recognise and celebrate Aboriginal heritage and stories.

The Public Art Action Plan 2014-2019 will provide Council with a robust, flexible and strategic framework for the City’s annual Public Art Program and set out priorities that will be achieved in conjunction with future capital works, development opportunities and partnerships through implementation of 3 project clusters:

PROJECT CLUSTER 1 – Outdoor Gallery Art

PROJECT CLUSTER 2 – Community Art

PROJECT CLUSTER 3 – Integrated Art

The Public Art Action Plan 2014 – 2019 will deliver a program of artistically diverse and accessible experiences where people can discover, interact and participate in new and creative experiences throughout the City.

Through co-creation, collaboration and co-funding it is the aspiration of the Public Art Action Plan 2014-2019 to position Adelaide as the Public Art capital of Australia, attracting visitors and tourists from around the world, engendering best practice in the visual arts and pioneering sustainable and innovative financial investment through private and public project delivery.

STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT

The Public Art Action Plan 2014-2019 is intended to assist in the delivery of Adelaide City Council’s 2014 - 2016 Strategic Vision of the City of Adelaide as ‘One City, Many Places’

The Public Art Action Plan has been developed in response to Strategic Outcome 3: Creative City:

• Art, culture and creative industries thrive and public and street art abounds;

• Festivals and events occur throughout the year and vibrant streets and public places are part of daily life;

• New and creative ideas are incubated and developed, reinforcing our history of innovation and debate;

• Quality and quirky cafes, restaurants, bars, vendors, venues and activities enrich the life of the City down streets, laneways, and on the riverbank and rooftops;

The Public Art Action Plan 2014-2019 supports the following strategies that fall under Outcome 3: Creative City:

• Foster creativity, cultural and artistic events and activities

• Activate underutilised City streets and public spaces to create places for creative and social activities

• Ensure an exciting range of events and activities in a variety of venues across the City and throughout the year, and

• Facilitate growth in creative businesses and industries

Public Art is a core program that resides within the Vibrant City Program, which plays an integral part in the development of a Creative City.

The Public Art Action Plan 2014-2019 demonstrates Council’s commitment to the delivery of a Creative City through the establishment of 3 Project Clusters.

PROJECT CLUSTER 1 – Outdoor Gallery Art

PROJECT CLUSTER 2 – Community Art

PROJECT CLUSTER 3 – Integrated Art

The Public Art Action Plan 2014-2019 identifies indicative initiatives, timeframes and costs that are to be considered by Council.

Impacts of delivering all projects identified each year will require additional funding. Alternatively projects will be selected to ensure the annual budget is met.

PROJECT CLUSTER 1: OUTDOOR GALLERY ARTThis category delivers stand-alone artworks commissioned for a specific or series of sites.

Outdoor Gallery Art may encompass 3D or 2D permanent or temporary artworks, including murals, light-based works and major sculptures.

Over time, Outdoor Gallery Art contributes to Council’s major public artwork collection, as well as providing a range of short term artworks.

As part of its Outdoor Gallery Art program, Council also exhibits a changing curated program of artworks for set periods of time in public places such as Pilgrim Lane.

PROJECT CLUSTER 2: COMMUNITY ARTCommunity Art projects often result from grants through the annual Arts and Cultural Grants Program.

Artists may work with communities to produce temporary or permanent public artworks, such as a mural or a work of cultural significance, expressing the values or aspirations of those communities.

The community may be involved in any or all of the phases of the project from conception, planning and research, to artwork production, evaluation and further planning.

Community Art also identifies and develops community engagement art programs and provides opportunities for young or emerging arts practitioners.

PROJECT CLUSTER 3: INTEGRATED ARTIntegrated Art refers to works that are fully incorporated within the design of the built or natural environment.

Integral to major improvement, renewal or development projects, it includes works such as paving, street furniture and sculptural works commissioned in conjunction with landscaping.

It may involve an artist working as part of a design team without actually creating a physical artwork.
