Public Art
The Public Art Sub-Committee consists of Marcus Hawley (Chairman), Yvonne Maslen; Professor
Tom Jones of the Birmingham Institute of Art & Design; Professor
George Noszlopy, author (amongst others) of "Public Sculpture
of Birmingham" and a Research Fellow at the Birmingham Institute
of Art & Design; Peter Miles, Chairman of the Midland Antique
Collectors' Circle and former Secretary of the Friends of Birmingham
Museums.
This sub-committee meets regularly to recommend to the Planning Committee
new works of art, examine current city council strategy for preservation
and conservation of the current stock of public art, including statues
and memorials in public ownership and on display and also those which
are currently in store.

The group submits proposals and suggestions to where works might be
better located and is currently involved in a dialogue with the Museum
& Art Gallery directorate concerning a corporate/civic partnership
"adopt a statue" scheme which would involve sponsorship
of ongoing maintenance of public art; a programme of regular civic
commemorations is currently being formulated to raise awareness of
the achievements of the person commemorated in the statue.
