Public art plays an important role in providing social, economic and environmental benefits.
The METRONET Public Art Strategy is delivering public art projects that engage emerging and established artists from diverse practices who are inspired by Perth’s local and Aboriginal culture, history, landscape and place.

The program-wide approach to public art:
- helps create distinct identities for stations and transport infrastructure while reflecting the theme of Our Pathways with a focus on Connections and Place
- strengthens the way people travel and connect to places, while maintaining links to shared history and culture
- is an opportunity to create a diverse and bespoke range of public art commissions on Perth’s rail network
