Urban Art Strategy

The Urban Art Strategy provides a framework for the implementation of Urban Art projects in Logan’s Activity centres. The strategy aims to improve amenity, attract more people to the city centres and activate unused spaces. Urban Art in all its formats plays an important role to create vibrant places across our city.

Urban Art is a place-based creative practice. It enhances built and natural environments and adds value to the urban character and cultural identity of a city.

Urban Art involves a range of artforms, creative interventions, production methods and design applications for generating permanent and temporary (including participatory and event-based) outcomes.

Urban art is a broader term than public art and includes creative placemaking collaborations and outcomes like:

  • creative signage
  • integrated design
  • interpretive signage
  • creative lighting
  • bespoke playscapes
  • place activation events
  • public artworks
  • installations.

Urban art can be delivered by:

  • creative collectives
  • design studios
  • community collaborations
  • individual artists, designers, and creatives.
