Status: Adopted by the Council on 24 June 2025
Art in public places contributes to the vibrancy of our district and our reputation as a centre for creativity. It provides us with opportunities to explore our stories, forge community identity, support tourism, and activate and regenerate our spaces.
The Art in Public Places Strategy guides public art initiatives across New Plymouth District, whether delivered by NPDC or in partnership with others. The independent New Plymouth District Art in Public Places Trust supports the delivery of this strategy by commissioning artworks and providing advice on gifts and bequests. Visit their website for more information.
The Strategy’s vision is that New Plymouth District will be enhanced by impactful art in public places that reflects our unique stories, places and people, and contributes to the vibrancy, culture, and connectedness of our communities. If you are an artist, community group, or property owner with a creative idea to bring this vision to life please contact us.
