Public Art

The Public Art Gateway group is here to both advise on and approve new proposals as well as to hear your views and concerns about any public art already in the city. 

"I want to talk to you about an existing artwork"

Any member of the public can alert us to any issues or concerns about a piece of public art in the city through the Issue Notification Form. For example, this form could be used to tell us about an artwork that is damaged, or you believe is inappropriate, or requires maintenance.

 "I want to talk to you about an idea or proposed artwork"

Any individual, business, or organisation in Coventry can benefit from initial the advice of the Public Art Gateway group by submitting a Stage One Enquiry Form about your proposed work or idea. Phase one will help you think through and develop your idea even if it is only at the concept stage.

If your plans are more developed for example you know the scale size and nature of the work and where you want to site it you can submit a Stage Two Enquiry Form. 

If you have any questions please get in touch and we will be happy to advise you.

Where possible, please provide a minimum of a four-month lead-in when submitting any forms to enable appropriate and timely advice to be sourced as this could take longer should the artwork be located in a conservation area, on/near a listed building or require planning permission.

To make an enquiry please download the correct form and include as much information as possible, submit your form to ArtsDevelopment@coventry.gov.uk  and mark your email subject as 'Public Art Gateway group enquiry'.
