Public Realm
FrancisKnight can help you throughout the commissioning process to a successful completion providing expert consultancy advice at the earliest stages of masterplanning, to embed public art strategies, action plans and artistic direction.
Artists generate ideas that rethink public space. They can make a considerable contribution to and enhance the visual quality of the public realm, setting out the aspirations and intentions of your scheme.
Developments
Incorporating public art into housing schemes or mixed use developments brings many benefits such as improving the visual quality of the development, adding identity and long term value to a property, or as a way of effectively engaging with local people during a period of change.
Integrating public artwork at this early stage often produces surprising results providing artistic interpretation at a relatively small proportion of the overall budget.
