Art in the City

Canberra CBD Limited - public art 2

There is a diverse collection of public artwork to be found in the City centre, commissioned by the ACT and Australian Governments and the business and community sectors.

To complement Canberra’s urban design and provide new experiences of the everyday environment, the ACT Government’s Public Art Program was established in 1995. The Program undertakes a range of activities including planning, commissioning new works, maintenance and education.

A notable development in Canberra’s art scene in recent years has been the work undertaken by the Molonglo Group to commission some great Australian artists to design work of varying mediums which is on display around their New Acton precinct in the City’s West.  See some of the work on their website.

The Canberra Museum and Gallery provides a fantastic showcase for local artists.  More information can be found on our Exhibitions in the City page.
