Who pays for repairs and maintenance if the artwork is vandalised?
Scheduled maintenance is built into the budget. There is also a separate budget to make good most vandalism. Our experience demonstrates that when the local community are involved in the creation of an environmental art work, and there is real sense of ownership, the likelihood of vandalism is very small. However, there is no guarantee that vandalism will not happen. We would always encourage doing a project, provided that the right conditions are in place.
