Public Art and Health Buildings: Review and Guidance

ixia has just published its Review and Guidance on the commissioning of public art within the context of different types of health initiatives. Since the 1960s, artists have increasingly become involved within the health sector. ixia and Willis Newson have written this document in order to equip readers with accurate information about the commissioning of public art within health buildings. The Review and Guidance is aimed at all those involved in the provision of health buildings and public art commissioning. It includes a review of current policy and practice, and provides guidance regarding the commissioning of public art within the context of Private Finance Initiative (PFI), Local Investment Finance Trust (LIFT) and ProCure21 (P21) procurement processes.

The review acknowledges that the provision of health buildings is subject to review and is being affected by the current economic downturn. As a result, the review will be subject to updates by ixia. Furthermore, the impact of the policies of the new coalition government on the provision of health buildings is yet to be fully understood. ixia will produce regular updates in order to keep this advice current.
