NSW Public Art Toolkit
The Public Art Toolkit aims to help NSW Government agencies and local councils apply best practice principles to planning, commissioning, implementing and maintaining public art.
Designed to be user-friendly, the interactive guide includes quick reference links to each step from planning, commissioning, implementing, and maintaining public art throughout its lifespan.
The toolkit identifies the vital contribution and involvement of Aboriginal communities in the development of public art on Aboriginal land. Five key principles for engagement are outlined: cultural authority and agency; recognising rights and maintaining culture; prior informed consent and consultation; integrity of Aboriginal culture; and attribution and sharing benefits.
The Toolkit guidance notes and case studies summarise and illustrate the key steps in successfully creating public art along with links to further specialist information.
The Public Galleries Association of Victoria (PGAV) acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the lands where our office is located, and all Traditional Owners of country throughout Victoria and Australia. We recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples enduring traditions and continuing creative cultures. We pay our respect to Elders past, present and emerging.
We are an LGBTQIA+ friendly organisation that celebrates diversity. We are committed to providing safe, culturally appropriate, and inclusive services for all people, regardless of their ethnicity, faith, disability, sexuality, or gender identity.
