Public Art Policy

The Indigo Shire Council Public Art Policy (the Policy) aims to provide the community of Indigo Shire and its partners with clear direction in the planning, creation, commissioning and maintenance of public art.

This Policy is to be read in conjunction with the Creative Indigo Strategy (the Strategy). The Public Art Policy outlines the vision, principles, roles, and responsibilities associated with public art, emphasising inclusivity, sustainability, and community engagement. The policy establishes clear guidelines for artist engagement, commissioning processes, governance and strategies for funding and maintaining public art. Aligned with broader council plans and strategies, this policy positions Indigo Shire as a creative hub, celebrating its unique identity through diverse and high-quality public artworks.

This policy was adopted by Council on Friday 24 May 2024.
