Artists, policy makers, planners and other stakeholders were invited to join NAVA and research partners from RMIT School of Art to discuss the revised content on commissioning art in the public space in NAVA's Code of Practice; further lines of enquiry; and obstacles for the implementation and adoption of the Code across the industry.
This discussion was part of ongoing consultation with members and the sector to inform a major revision of the Code of Practice. NAVA's Code of Practice is both a record and a benchmark of best practice across the Australian visual arts including legal, ethical and financial business practices, as well as thorough arts industry guidelines.

NAVA acknowledges the traditional owners and custodians of the land where this event took place, the Kaurna peoples of the Adelaide Plains and others who traded on, travelled through and connected with this land, and continue to do so. We recognise all Custodians of Country throughout all lands, waters and territories. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded.
