The Arts in Public Places Award is currently on a break and will be reviewed again in 2022. 

More than ever before, the public need for accessible visual art is critical. Art can become an intrinsic and beautiful part of our built environment, contributing to public wellness and bringing art to new spaces. These Awards celebrate the work of artists and crafters who contribute to a distinctive quality of place and highlight excellence in this practice.  

Past Winners Include:

 

Are you LOCATIONALIZED? 

The winner of the 2016 temporary art category of the awards is ‘Are you LOCATIONALIZED?’, an ATLAS Arts commission created by former Glasgow School of Art graduates Joanne Tatham and Tom O’Sullivan spanning the two Hebridean islands of Skye and North Uist. Find out more here.
