An ambitious initiative investing £4.5m into supporting public art projects is seeking to change perceptions of the North of England. Funded by the Northern Way, this is the largest public art programme of its kind in Britain. It brings together internationally renowned artists, expert project teams and diverse locations to make a significant impact on people and places in the North and beyond.

This site will guide you through the programme, the projects, the places and the people behind it all. Find stories, facts and figures, latest news, biographies and the essential information to fuel a debate about the role of public art.
