Animating spaces
Push the boundaries of your space
You might have an awkward space you don’t know what to do with, or maybe you want to do something never been seen before? Either way, you want to use your space to its potential and get people excited about it. We’d love to show you what’s possible.
Why Things Made Public?
#1
You have a tricky brief
You might have an awkward or unsightly space that you just don’t know how to tackle. The likelihood is that we’ve faced something similar on previous projects and have the experience to advise you.


#2
You have different audiences
To succeed, you need to work with many different people including landlords, local authorities, community groups and residents. After a decade of doing just this, we naturally act as a translator that can bring different people together.
#3
You WANT PEOPLE TO BE INSPIRED
You want to create a space people are drawn to. Whether it’s a community commissioning panel for street art or working with local groups to use vacant units, we embed communities from the start to create spaces that inspire them.


#4
You’ll get a measurable guarantee
We love a KPI. When you work with us, we’ll define clear ways to measure if your project is a success – this can help you show you made an impact and can help prove concepts for future work.

I’m really excited to see the murals around Basildon. What they’ve done is animate spaces. They’ve been imagined with local people and executed by international artists, so the quality of the art is fantastic.
