Public Art

The council encourages public art as an integral part of new development or refurbishments.

Public art enriches our surroundings, symbolises community identity and adds value to developments.

There is a growing number of public art installations around the borough. In order to provide information on some of these artworks for visitors, schools and community groups, the council has developed a public art trail for Wigan Town Centre together with a supporting education pack.

In addition, there is a Guidance Note (.pdf, 651Kb) for developers available and advice can be provided on instructing artists.
