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
