Orange Regional Gallery, a Department of the City of Orange, NSW Australia,
has developed a long term plan to make a sculpture trail along a green belt
that runs through the city. Hopefully, this may eventually function as an
attraction in its own right.
Three sculptures have so far been erected, by prominent Australian sculptors
Richard Goodwin, Bronwyn Oliver and Ian Marr.
Although not yet financially supported by the City (all monies have so far
been raised from private foundations and State Government) the plan is
currently before the City Council with a view to being adopted as policy.
Please email me directly for further information.

Subject: Public sculpture
Hello everyone:
Can anyone give me information about cities or towns, anywhere in the world,
that have ongoing programmes for purchasing/commissioning/etc. sculpture for
permanent display in public places. Sculpture gardens and sculpture trails
are of particular interest.
The City of Rotorua here in NZ is considering developing an ongoing
committment to funding the provision of large-scale public sculpture,
probably in the form of a trail through the district, with the ultimate
long-term goal of developing an internationally-significant collection.
Any information, such as amount of money committed annually, how sculptors
are chosen (comepetition, straight commission, etc.) would be most helpful.
Thanks
Greg
