Overview
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.
