Community art is any artistic activity based on, made for, or made by the community.
Community art encompasses a wide range of artistic activities created by, for, or with the community, often in collaboration with professional artists.
This art can take many forms, from paintings and sculptures to mosaics and murals, as well as digital or video art.
Due to the diverse methods and mediums, there is no single model for creating community-led public art.
To help guide these projects, our Art and Community document offers valuable insights and general guidelines to foster creativity and engagement in public art endeavours.
