UP Projects curates and commissions public art. The organisation was founded in
2002 by Emma Underhill, with a mission to support artists to make new work that
has social relevance, engages communities, encourages learning and enriches the
public sphere. We work collaboratively with artists, communities and partners
to create extraordinary projects. Our outlook is international, activating
spaces across the globe and in the digital domain. Our work explores the
multitude of ways in which people can encounter and connect with contemporary
art in unexpected places. UP Projects reaches millions of people through
ambitious public commissions by a diverse selection of artists,
informal learning activities, artist-led community engagement and events
