Over the last several years The Bentway has been working to better understand our role as public space developers and operators, as well as arts professionals working in the midst of a climate emergency. In order to address the specific environmental challenges in public areas and in the presentation of public art works, in March 2024 The Bentway seeded the Public Art and Sustainability Initiative – a collaborative partnership between a national network of fellow public art curators, organizations and public space operators.
The Public Art and Sustainability Initiative has enabled the formation of new opportunities for knowledge-exchange for the future, which will no doubt lead to discoveries and efficiencies across the sector and make all of our work stronger as a result.
