By engaging in public art as a tool for growth and sustainability, communities can thrive economically. Seventy percent of the population believe that the “arts improve the image and identity” of their community.
Public art directly influences how people see and connect with a place, providing access to aesthetics that support its identity and making residents feel appreciated and valued. Aesthetics is one of the top three characteristics why residents attach themselves to a community.
Providing a public art ecosystem supports artists and other creatives by validating them as important contributors to the community. Artists are highly entrepreneurial. They are 3.5 times more likely than the total work force to be self-employed.
Public art provides a visual mechanism for understanding other cultures and perspectives, reinforcing social connectivity with others. Seventy-three percent of the population agree that the arts “helps me understand other cultures better.”
Public art addresses public health and personal illness by reducing stress, providing a sense of belonging, and addressing stigmas towards those with mental health issues. Public art is noted as slowing pedestrians down to enjoy their space and providing a positive impact on mood.
We ensure that thorough documentation is completed at every stage of the project. During the design stage, sketches, final drawings, prototypes, samples and correspondence, noting any amendments to the original design proposal are compiled. In preparation for fabrication and construction, engineering specifications and certification are obtained from a structural engineer detailing the materials, structure, location and plans for transport and installation.
Other Spaces Projects has the capacity to undertake architectural fabrication using steel, casting in bronze and aluminium, 3D printing, MIG, TIG & Arc welding, oxy & plasma cutting, powder coating, plating & galvanizing, fibreglass laminating, wood carving and construction, marble and stone sculpting. We can produce video artworks, projection mapping, screen installations and virtual technology driven experiential art.
We keep our projects to schedule and deliver completed artworks on time. Other Spaces Projects arranges final client approval before executing a carefully managed plan to package, transport and install each artwork while maintaining the highest of standards in OH&S, and logistical planning.
