Abstract:
This Public Art Sustainability Assessment (PASA for short) is a set of guidelines and an assessment method being developed by Chrysalis Arts, an artist-led public art company, training and arts development agency based in Gargrave in North Yorkshire, which has over 20 years’ experience of creating public art commissions for a wide range of commissioning agencies, from local authorities to regeneration bodies. The company is in the process of assessing its own working practices in the context of the overall ‘sustainability’ of its public art projects, its other creative activities and its professional development training, and it has developed PASA in response to the need for specific guidelines for promoting and assessing good sustainable practice in public art. In drawing up the assessment, Chrysalis has consulted with other artists and commissioners, local authority officers, environmental specialists and consultants, including Gaia Research and Arts Council England, to improve the company’s understanding of sustainable art practice. The company has also drawn extensively on its own experience. PASA was written and compiled by Kate Maddison with assistance from Ian Gasse and Christine Keogh, with contributions and critique by Ian Banks, Maggie Bolt, Dr Joan Gibbons and Rick Faulkner.
