We’re proud advocates for the power of art in public spaces and we’ve delivered some of London’s most important commissions over the past decade. Our technical expertise is matched by our commitment to the social impact art brings to the public arena. We work with world-recognised artists to imagine and deliver art for all. We’re recognised leaders in the field and understand that arts and culture are central to placemaking and community building. Our clients share this vision and want to make a difference - delivering social value is at the heart of what we do, whether it’s temporary or permanent, online or on-site. Public space is changing and we’re delivering great art for great places.
CAS are adept in teasing out the client’s requirements, sourcing high quality artists that will be able to respond to the vision and values of the client. They organised an artists’ competition, shortlisting and selection, and then worked with the donor, client and selected artist – Mark Wallinger in this case – skilfully mediating the different priorities of each of the parties to achieve an outstanding result.

We deliver outstanding public realm projects that reflect our clients’ ambitions. We offer bespoke solutions that are tailored to the needs of each project, from developing artist briefs and convening selection panels to advising on budgets, contracting, planning permissions, fabrication and installation. We act as liaison between clients, artists, design teams and stakeholder groups and can advise on best practice and marketing and communications strategies.

Commissioning work for the public realm is in our blood. We guide clients through the process from identifying their aims and ambitions with a detailed delivery plan to establishing diverse oversight panels for stakeholders to manage the evolution of a commission. We act as the main point of contact between artists, commissioners and stakeholder groups. We manage each project from inception to completion, overseeing and reporting on artist contracting, artist brief development, budgets, materials, engineering, fabrication and integration to planning requirement.
We ensure maintenance guidance accompanies all our commissions and work with you to develop marketing and communications strategies to promote each unique project.
