West Sussex Public
Art Consultancy
2005 - present

Frances has worked with West Sussex County Council as their Public Art Advisor to develop and implement the Council’s art and architecture policy since 2005.

During this time she has advised on public art developments in Arun, Crawley, Chichester, Mid Sussex and Worthing. She researched and wrote the "Guidance paper on Art in the Public Realm", commissioned by the West Sussex Design Commission, which encourages the commissioning of high quality artworks made specifically for the public realm by artists, makers and designers.

Frances is currently researching ‘Art in Public Places: public art initiatives and artists’ commissions in West Sussex’, a publication which highlights coastal, regeneration, education, sports, environment and heritage projects, to be launched in June 2008.
