City Art Tour: CBD Public Art Walking Tour

Enjoy a guided tour through the City of Sydney’s public art collection and discover City Art’s most loved and best hidden public artworks.

Come along for a walking tour of public art in the CBD! We’ll be looking at a mix of works you may have seen in passing during your commute to work and others that you likely didn’t know existed. We’ll get a chance to talk about the the histories of these works, why they were commissioned and the politics of having private and pubic organisations commission art for the public sphere. We will meet at 10am at the Archibald Fountain by Francois Sicard in Hyde Park and during the tour we'll encounter works such as I Stay (Ngaya Ngalawa) by Jenny Holzer at 8 Chiefley Square and Youngsters by Caroline Rothwell on George Street.
