The Public Art Master Plan guides the implementation of public art in Hamilton, and outlines the principles by which art is commissioned. The previous public art master plan had an implementation timeframe of 2016-2023, and must now be updated to guide new public art projects and programs for the community.
Public Art Master Plan 2025 - 2035
The update of the Public Art Master Plan (PAMP) offers the opportunity to ensure that the Plan is a relevant document attuned to the current and future artistic priorities of Hamilton residents. The development of a new PAMP requires community input from multiple consultation methods and partners to determine the community’s priorities as regards art in the public realm. We will share opportunities for community input and as the Public Art Master Plan develops.
Public Art Master Plan 2025 - 2035
Steering Committee
The Public Art Master Plan is the City of Hamilton’s tool for deciding how and what type of art gets commissioned for our city’s public spaces. In 2024 & 2025 we have an opportunity to create a dynamic and community-based Masterplan that shapes the future of Public Art in Hamilton from 2025 to 2035.
Members of the PAMP Steering Committee will help shape public consultation, guiding principles for the masterplan, and the creation of an action plan to direct the next few years of public art in Hamilton.
2016 Public Art Master Plan
Public art is defined by the City of Hamilton as original works of art created by artists, or in collaboration with artists, through a public process and existing on publicly accessible City of Hamilton property.
Public places are those that are owned and/or managed by the City including parks, trail systems, road allowances, tunnels, courtyards, building exteriors, and interior areas where everybody can go, such as community centres.
Developed in consultation with the public, councillors, City staff, and relevant groups over 2 years, the Public Art Master Plan (2016) identifies these 14 priority sites for public art:
In addition to these priority sites, 85 sites are identified for future consideration should additional staff resources or funding become available.
