Great Western Park
draft public arts strategy
South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse district councils are consulting on a public art strategy for Great Western Park. The strategy will set out what public art might be built on the site.
You can read the draft strategy on the Vale website and take part in an online questionnaire by Friday 2 March 2012 to give your views.
Background
As you may know, Great Western Park is a new development near to Milton Interchange, where 3300 new dwellings and associated community buildings are being built over the next few years. The councils have secured some £600,000 from the developers to be spent on public art on the site. Public art can take many forms so the aim of the strategy is to recommend what kinds of art should be used, what materials and colours should be used and where.
An arts consultant, Peter Anderson Studio, working for the councils has already spoken in depth to some local residents, councilors, young and older people, businesses and others to get opinions to inform the strategy. Thank you to those of you who have already given your views. Whether or not you have taken part at an earlier stage we would now like your comments on the draft document.
