The City of Charlottetown invites you to shape the future of Public Art in our city!

The City of Charlottetown is leading an update of the Public Art Policy to meet the objectives of the City of Charlottetown’s Public Art Plan: Making Public Art a Priority, the City’s new Cultural Policy, and the Strategic Plan.

Public art refers to a temporary or permanent artwork in any media created by an artist or artist group that is, has been, or will be sited or staged in a public space, and is acquired in compliance with the City of Charlottetown’s Public Art Policy.

The latest public art policy was updated in 2020. Since then, a new cultural staff position and policy have been created, necessitating an update to the document to ensure successful implementation.

The final document will enable Council, city staff, and the City’s Arts Advisory Board to make strategic decisions on public art and support the implementation of the City’s Public Art Plan.

Updating the public art policy will involve community and stakeholder collaboration to ensure Charlottetown’s artists, diverse community members, the cultural sector, elected officials, City staff, and other community leaders have the opportunity to have their voices heard.
