Public Art
The City of South Perth values public art as a means of celebrating the identity and history of the community, enhancing the environment and contributing to a sense of place.
The City has a
growing inventory of distinct and diverse public artworks that
celebrate and contribute to our unique culture. The works are
generally sculptural or mural in form and are permanently on display
throughout the City. Some of the works are owned by the City and some
are on private land, but are accessible to the public.
The City is home to a wide range of works of public art, including sculptures, integrated artworks, murals, community art projects and, at certain times of the year, temporary and ephemeral (short-lived) public art. Artworks include pieces that have been commissioned by the City and others that have been commissioned by State Government agencies, private developers and those that have been initiated by community members.
The City's public art map is an accessible resource with information about past, present and anticipated public artworks. The interactive map shows the location of artworks and provides images and basic information about them. You can select to view information in one of four layers, depending on your interests:
- Current and Past Projects
- Murals and Community Art
- City of South Perth Public Art Collection
- Developer Projects.
