Public art is a brilliant way to create interest and experience in any place. But what is a seemingly short-cut to place activation and local culture is harder than it looks. How do you commission and create authentic art that will stand the test of time and create meaning and connections when it's placed in situ?

Join the IPM and a range of guest speakers to look at an approach for public art, and the good, bad and ugly found out in the wilds of UK high streets and beyond.

In the UK, the autumn statement typically provides new policies and goverment spending for place practitioners to digest, as well as a chance to take stock of progress in UK towns and cities, economically and socially. In recent years this has included levelling up and shared prosperity funds, adjustments to business rates, and more general consumer-impacts of tax and spending that play out on high streets.

Join the Institute for another autumn statement digest, so you can react quickly, as well as adding to your own professional development.

A tradition at the Institute, we gather together as friends and place professionals - online and in-person - every festive season for a celebratory seminar looking back on the last 12 months and ahead to the new year.

The seminar has plenty of new place ideas and research to digest, with lightening presentations and interactive elements helping our members to join the conversation and influence IPM's thinking. If you can't be in Manchester, at the Institute, for mulled drinks and mince pies, then get yourself comfortable with festive refreshments at home or work and dial in via our Zoom link.

Place management and leadership is now seen as the key component in the successful recovery and transformation of towns and cities. Whilst funding, planning and other technical specialisms (like planning and design) are important, places need committed people to inspire, collaborate and coordinate action.

This masterclass strengthens the knowledge and capacity of local leaders from local authorities, BIDs, business and the wider community to become effective place leaders.
