Public Art in Esquimalt
The Township of Esquimalt’s Public Art Policy was adopted by Council in 2002. Its
mission statement is "to cultivate a more vibrant community full of visually
exciting and identifiable spaces where art in all its forms is incorporated into
everyday life".
This Policy was created to enrich Esquimalt both physically and intellectually by
ensuring that a diversity of art work and art forms are integrated into the design
of public spaces. It was also intended to demonstrate that art is valued as an integral
part of society, to increase community understanding of the arts, to promote the
arts in general, and to increase community pride.
The Public Art Policy deals primarily with the acquisition and management of art
works (including monuments and memorials) in municipally-owned public spaces, however,
some of the works featured on this webpage may be located on private property but
be visible to the public.
