Public art enhances the unique identity and contemporary image of Wollongong by:

• expressing local identity and distinctiveness 
• improving and animating public space 
• enhancing the local economy 
• developing community spirit and pride.

We coordinate and project manage public art across the city and provide advice to businesses and organisations interested in implementing public art projects. We can provide:

• a register of artists 
• advice on processes for employing artists and drafting contracts 
• a public art guide to promote our local collection 
• a register of outdoor cultural material with detailed information on each artwork in the city.

Public Art Policy

Our Public Art Policy sets guidelines for the management, funding and implementation of future public art in the city. It refers both to the conservation and maintenance of the current collection and the commissioning of new public art works.

Public Art Collection

Wollongong’s Public Art Collection provides an insight into our city’s vibrant social life, history, and environments. The collection showcases exciting and innovative artworks created by contemporary local and national artists, and offers an exciting way to discover our innovative city. The Public Art Collection database provides an image and description of each public artwork, outlines artists involved and pinpoints the location of each artwork using a Google map. A new public art brochure will be available in the coming months.
