Public art that works
Group Creative Services creates solutions that drive innovation, discover cost efficiencies, integrate with infrastructure, and build community. With thoughtful, actionable planning and facilitation of public art projects, we connect you with proven artists to create projects of distinction and advance goals ranging from civic discourse to environments that embody your mission and ensure top of mind recognizability.
Read how we put public art and cultural initiatives to work strengthening cities and communities.
We work on policy, planning, community assessment, engagement, public art facilitation, community building, public art process management, and creative placemaking for public, NGO, and private entities.
Cross sector problem solving, innovative solutions, and unique resource use are the regular features of artists’ work. Artists should be incorporated into challenging processes early on to create projects of distinction and loyalty.
Public art can align with and advance civic goals, offering fresh tactics for and perspectives on outreach, education, feedback, and data visualization.
