Public Art and Placemaking - Creating a sense of place

The City of Marion recognises that public artworks can help to create a more attractive urban environment which reflects local character, community pride, ownership, sense of place and community identity. It can be in the form of a sculpture, visual arts, digital, music, performance arts, installation and urban activation as well as programmed artistic artworks in the public realm.

To find out more about how to activate your public spaces, connect with your community through public arts and turning spaces into vibrant places, or if you are interested in adding artwork to your stobie pole, please visit our website.
