The Public Spaces Art Fund aims at promoting artistic excellence and public engagement. It supports the incorporation of public art into public development which will create a unique sense of community as well as public identity and enhance the visual and aesthetic quality of such locations.
The Public Spaces Art Fund aims to provide tools to increase the awareness of public art and promote opportunities to further advance public art, with a particular focus on:
• Encouraging the involvement of artists in the design and development of public spaces by facilitating collaboration between artists, planners, architects, landscape architects, and urban designers whenever possible in the total design process.
• Developing a legacy of public art that integrates art into Malta’s fabric of urban design in order to create high quality public spaces through the integration of art, urban design and architecture.
• Encouraging artworks which are accessible to the public either visually or physically.
