Commissions

Artpoint initiates, develops and manages commissions in a broad range of public spaces and with a variety of visual media. We approach every opportunity with a very clear focus and sense of purpose. We believe, that with imaginative and good planning there is no limit to the contribution art and artists can make to the physical and social environment.
