New artworks and memorials in parks, open spaces and the public realm in Camden

Overview

We would like to invite you to the up and coming public engagement meeting to discuss the draft guidance and get your views on:

• Tuesday 13th Novmeber from 5.30pm until 6.30pm at the Camden Centre Small Hall, Bidborough Street, WC1H 9JE.

Memorials and public art can positively enhance the public realm.  They can help us to reflect on and remember the lives and experiences of those who live or once lived in the borough, commemorate events of importance, provide reminders to the historical and social past or simply enhance an area and the aesthetic value people derive from it.

The draft guidance aims to provide information to anyone who is considering to propose the installation of a memorial or public art.  It provides details about  what kinds of proposals Camden wishes to see, the quality of the proposal we require and to guide the person through the application process.

The consultation period on this draft guidance is until 2 December.  After the consultation closes we will analyse comments, make any amendment necessary to the guidance and present it for single Member decision in early January.  If agreed the guidance will come into force from 1 April 2013.
