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.
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
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.
PROJECT CLUSTER 2 – Community Art
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 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.
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.
PROJECT CLUSTER 3 – Integrated Art
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;
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
•Festivals and events occur throughout the year and vibrant
streets and public places are part of daily life;
•Activate underutilised City streets and public spaces to
create places for creative and social activities
•New and creative ideas are incubated and developed,
reinforcing our history of innovation and debate;
•Ensure an exciting range of events and activities in a variety
of venues across the City and throughout the year, and
•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;

PUBLIC ART
ACTION PLAN
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 ART
This 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 ART
PROJECT CLUSTER 3:
INTEGRATED ART
Community Art projects often result from grants through the
annual Arts and Cultural Grants Program.
Integrated Art refers to works that are fully incorporated
within the design of the built or natural environment.
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.
Integral to major improvement, renewal or development
projects, it includes works such as paving, street furniture
and sculptural works commissioned in conjunction
with landscaping.
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.
It may involve an artist working as part of a design team
without actually creating a physical artwork.
