In Southwark, we value public art. Our culture team works with artists and the community to support the commissioning process and find out what residents want.
We encourage an inclusive and anti-racist approach to public art commissioning.

When commissioning new public art on land we own, we have to identify a need for it and make sure there is a budget to commission and maintain it. We do not accept unsolicited gifts of public artwork.
If you want to commission public art, arrange a meeting with the culture team to discuss your proposal.
