Outside the Conventional and Into the Mainstream:

Arts in Public Space in England

Written by David Micklem with Sud Basu and Simon Chatterton

Commissioned by 101 Outdoor Arts

101 is delighted to be commissioning this report as a document that can support and focus our own work over the coming years but also as a national strategy paper that we hope will inform, reflect on and encourage debate around the area of work about which we are passionate.

As we move into what we can only hope is the post-pandemic era, an age when issues of inclusion and relevance in the arts are foremost, I also hope that this document can articulate why work in public space matters now more than ever.
