Are you the artist?

PublicArtMap is a not-for-profit project for finding public art. We don’t sell images or prints, and we credit every artist we can identify. If you’d rather this photograph weren’t here, say so and we’ll take it down within two working days — you don’t need to prove anything or explain why.

We can also correct a credit, or fix anything factual we’ve got wrong. The record itself — the title, the date, where it is — stays, because that’s a description rather than a reproduction. If it’s your name you’d rather we didn’t show, that’s a different question and a fair one; write to us and we’ll talk it through.
