ADVISERS who could help developers to spend money on public art have been appointed.
A local art consultant and a UK architectural firm have been chosen by the Environment Minister to help developers spend their ‘percentage for art’ - the voluntary contribution that they make towards public art in Jersey.
The policy was introduced by Senator Freddie Cohen in 2007 and over the past year more than £500,000 has been pledged by developers who have got permission to build.
Local resident Philip Hewat-Jaboor and a London-based firm, Muf architecture - co-founded by Jersey woman Katherine Clarke - have now been appointed to help developers spend the money.
According to the policy, any developer who builds more than five houses or a commercial development of over 500 square metres is encouraged by Planning to contribute a percentage for art. The guideline contribution is 0.75% of the cost of the construction of the development.
