Our priorities for public art include the development of new commissions and public art programmes which will support professional artists and public engagement along with the stewardship and conservation of
County Galway’s public art collection to date. Galway county Council aspires to create a public art programme which is both recognised for its excellence and source of inspiration and pride for its citizens.
This policy outlines our strategic approach to public art programming in County Galway, which is part of our overall arts and culture agenda. The policy applies to public art projects commissioned through the Per Cent for Art Scheme and includes our responsibilities in other areas of public art practice including donations; acquisitions; individual proposals such as those from private
developers and community groups; commemorations and memorials; as well as decommissioning.
Galway County Council’s public art policy and programme is developed in line with Irish and
international best practice.
