We are thrilled to support the popular Rider Levett Bucknall Award for Best Public Art Project.

This award recognises the use of Public Art within projects/developments to create brilliant spaces and in turn enriching and enlivening our cities and suburbs.

Eligible Public Art Projects must have been commissioned by the Property Developer/Owner.

Eligible entrants will be Art projects that have been completed as of 31 December 2022.

The award is open to members of the Property Council of Australia only. Innovation in your responses should be clearly expressed.

If this sounds like your project, you can nominate now!

As we look for new ways to attract people to physical spaces, do we need to revalue the role of public art in placemaking? RLB’s NSW Managing Director Stephen Mee reflected on this question in an article for the Property Council of Australia in 2021:
