May is Month of Art in Public Space. During this month, Kunstpunt puts a selection of the nearly six hundred works of art in public space in the municipality of Groningen in the spotlight. We manage these works of art and maintain them in collaboration with Stadsbeheer. Part of the Month of Art in Public Space is the Art in Public Space Prize, for which you can vote!
The theme of the Art in Public Space Prize 2022 is 'panorama - view of the city and the surrounding area'. Ten works of art from the municipality of Groningen have been nominated:
- Memory balcony of Studio L A on the Hereweg
