This may be slightly off topic but I thought I'd bring up the program Renew Newcastle, a not-for-profit organisation that is currently operating in Newcastle and has been around for the last year and a half. Headed by Marcus Westbury Renew Newcastle was instigated as a reaction to the increasingly delapidated city centre which was literally a ghost town. A plan was proposed by Westbury and in conjunction with the local council the program acquired empty shopfronts and buildings to be used by artists, clothing and graphic designers, photographers, burgeoning rocord labels and a zine store. Renew Newcastle operates on the principle to use art, or the 'arts' (in a very broad sense of the word) to bring back life into the city by trying to tempt people back in to the city space. This loosely fits the third paradigm listed by Miwon Kwon in 'One place after another: site specific art and local identity', being the 'art-in-the-public-interest model.' It is not public art as such but it is a public program which has good intentions and appeals to the public's interests in not letting the city of Newcastle fall to ruins.
