PUBLIC ART & COMMISSIONS
Design to Fabrication to Installation
Anyone can hire the Public Projects department at The Steel Yard. We design, fabricate and install custom artwork for the public realm. We’re project managers and we’ll work with you every step of the way from creative concept to final installation.
We specialize in making functional and artistic street amenities (trashcans, bike racks, benches, fences, etc). We also create and manage fine art installations. View our portfolio to check out some of our projects.
When you hire Public Projects you’ll get more than a custom piece; you’re helping beautify neighborhoods, build community, pay local artists and craftspeople, and support training for underemployed Rhode Islanders. You can also be confident that you’re receiving high-quality work at competitive prices.
