Art in Public Spaces Master Plan

The integral role public art plays in developing quality of place and designing space was highlighted in Port Moody’s Arts and Culture Master Plan with a strategic objective and goal to “Enhance Public Spaces Through Arts and Culture” via the expansion of public art and utilization of public spaces as venues for arts and culture activities. The Art in Public Spaces Master Plan builds on this concept and recognizes the growing multiplicity of public art and the various ways in which it can be integrated into the public realm utilizing a myriad of temporary, permanent, kinetic, and stationary elements.

The Art in Public Spaces Master Plan will serve as a roadmap for City staff and the community to develop and maintain art in public spaces. It outlines the future direction, philosophy, policies, priorities, and actions for the City of Port Moody and partners relating to public art by:

• Identifying potential opportunities for public art in Port Moody;
• Linking with other key planning initiatives, bylaws and policies;
• Outlining governance, funding and operational policies and procedures for implementing a public art program; and
• Providing a broad guiding and working document with a funding strategy.

The Art in Public Spaces Master Plan will ultimately strengthen public art in Port Moody and build on the City’s brand of City of the Arts.

The Art in Public Spaces Master Plan is supported by research included in the Planning Context Report.
