Hereford Public Art Strategy

Decision Maker: Cabinet member transport and infrastructure

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To consider and agree the recommendations arising from the Hereford Public Art Strategy developed as part of the Hereford City Centre Improvements (HCCI) public art programme.

Decision:

That:

 

a) Herefordshire Council supports the strategic vision for public art as outlined in the Hereford Public Art Strategy; and

 

b) Supports six strategic objectives outlined to achieve the public art vision for Hereford, namely on the themes of commissioning, advocacy, funding, engagement, maintenance and expansion.

Alternative options considered:

Do nothing. Public art management remains ad hoc as it is now – this is not recommended due to the overwhelming success of the HCCI public art programme in Hereford and potential opportunities highlighted in the strategy report.
