Beam believes in and promotes the contribution that artists can bring to place making, both as producers and creative thinkers. The term ‘public art’ now covers an exciting and wide range of activity, from sculpture to lighting to outdoor arts. Artists can also add huge value to design and regeneration teams, and we make use of their skills in many aspects of our engagement, consultation, learning and skills programmes.

Public Art Commissioning and Management

Beam has wide experience in developing public art programmes and commissions, both temporary and permanent, in a variety of media including the visual arts, film and new media, dance and music.

Arts and Public Realm Strategies

Beam works with individual clients, local authorities, and design teams to analyse and articulate the potential for the arts and culture in regeneration schemes, master plans, local and regional strategies. We undertake audit, consultation and research to place the arts in an economic, social, and built environment context, bringing national knowledge to local context.

Creative Events

Beam has experience in delivering arts-led events and celebrations for both the public sector and local communities.
