Rhodes Peninsula Arts Plan

Rhodes Peninsula Arts Plan Rhodes Peninsula Arts Plan Rhodes Peninsula Arts Plan Rhodes Peninsula Arts Plan The urban environment should be a place of lively, representative cultural identity. A key way to achieve this is through the provision of Public Art. Through the Arts Plan the Rhodes Peninsula will have a site specific estate of artworks appropriate for its community places and commercial buildings, town square and public domain. The Arts Plan navigates a unique cultural map of the Rhodes Peninsula for the unfolding community. It is responsive to the cultural diversity of Rhodes and the level of urban consolidation that is shaping the built form. While the urban environment underpins the location of public art, the Arts Plan embeds a cultural layer that engages people as part of a place-making process. This will result in art that interprets and energises the public domain, recalls local heritage, connects with the river and its moods and is an integral part of design, offering opportunities for collaboration between artist, community, architect and engineer. Art that resonates with people of all ages, encourages an engaged interest in people and place and becomes, over time, a marker of community life.
