The City Council supported by Arts Council England, East Midlands, commissioned the consultancy Public Arts to produce a Public Art Strategy for the City.

The Strategy focuses on public art as a process. The Strategy is about engaging with public art, artists, communities and public space, about improving the City's 'public art in regeneration' capacity, rather than about proposals for specific works of public art.

Following on from the Strategy, a Derby Public Art Implementation Plan  106kb has been prepared.

In the Plan, the tasks are presented under two sub-headings.  Part 1 has the title 'Artworks Direct', part 2 'Context'.  The intention is to give prominence within the Implementation Plan to works on the ground.  We hope to build up the list of part 1 actions while we're completing the part 2 actions.
