Public art projects can take many forms.  Many examples are located within developments and form part of the built environment, while others are time specific, highlighting a particular event or aspect of the cultural life of the county. Further information on new and current projects can be obtained from the Essex Design Initiative website.

Recent public art projects have been very successful. Genius Loci (meaning ‘Spirit of Place’) is a groundbreaking project that aims to deliver integrated, high impact public art works in new developments across Essex.  The Genius Loci publication details how to succeed in delivering public art in Essex.

For further information about public art, arts projects and cultural events within the county, the Explore Culture website and the Essex Summer of Art programme provide ideas and opportunities to discover more about art and culture in Essex.
