Public art policy

The Cairns Regional Council's Public Art Policy is an ongoing Council program.  The following examples reflect some of the city’s best art works by public artists of renown. The works that are sited across the city play an important part in marking the  evolution of a city. 

Cairns Regional Council and State Government’s public art program formally known as Art Built-In program, now known as Art + Place has provided the funds to produce a quality collection of public art works spanning a decade.  

Public Art Policy review

Council’s Public Art policy is due for review.  The intent of this policy is to provide a guide and a framework, for Council in the development, planning, maintenance, de-accessioning, acquisition and integration of public art in the Cairns local government area.  The Public Art Policy review is open to any member of the public for comment.  Please email A.Huelin@cairns.qld.gov.au with comments and suggestions.
