Fund Priorities and Eligibility

 

The Public Art Fund is Tauranga City Council’s dedicated fund for public art.

Public Art is any artwork that is in the public realm and is accessible to the general public. This is regardless of whether it is situated on public or private property.

Public Art comes in many forms, including but not limited to, sculpture, murals, mahi toi, integrated architectural or landscape architectural work, community art, mosaics, digital new media, lightworks, sound art, land art, installation, and more transitory forms like performance art.[1]

If your full project budget is $50,000 or less, there will be four rounds in the 2025-2026 financial year.

If your full project budget is $50,001 or more, there will be two rounds in the 2025-2026 financial year.

[1] Performance art is defined as an artwork created through actions. It is not the same as the performing arts, such as dance, drama, kapa haka, or musical performances.
