Public Art
Public Art
Public art is a dynamic expression of a city's culture, identity, and place.
By bringing together the creative work of visual artists, craftspeople, designers, makers, and performance artists, it makes art accessible and visible from public spaces.
Blacktown City has an excellent record of public art development both temporary and permanent. We are proud of the support we offer artists in the development of public art in Blacktown Local Government Area.
