Locus+ is supported by Arts Council England

 Locus+ is a visual arts commissioning agency that works with artists on the production and presentation of socially engaged, collaborative and temporary projects, primarily for non-gallery locations. In each project place or context is integral to the meaning of the artwork. To date we have completed over 50 projects touring to a further 25 other venues, produced over 20 publications and 9 artists multiples.

Locus+ creates new opportunities for artists, whose work is issue-based, to work in different contexts and across formats. Locus+ responds to and initiates projects with a great degree of flexibility and freedom. We have worked with artists with significant reputations as well as others beginning their careers. We afford equal value to each project regardless of scale or location. Every Locus+ project is generated by the organisation: we do not act as a host for existing projects.

Although Locus+ was formally established in April 1993 it was preceded by the Basement Group (1979 to 1984) and Projects UK (1982 to 1992) the first office-based organisation in the UK. The organisation is recognised as a key regional, national and international agency for the development of new initiatives in the realisation of visual art and cross-media projects. "...one of the foremost agencies for public art in the UK." Greg Hilty. Chief Executive, London Arts Board. Public Art Journal

 All aspects of Locus+ policy from Programme, Employment and Education to Board constitution fully adhere to requirements of Cultural Diversity and the Disability Discrimination Act.

As a visual arts organisation working in the public realm dependant on the success of the full involvement of audiences, and as an employer, Locus+ recognizes that it has a moral and legal responsibility to promote equal opportunities.
In addition Locus+ recognises that the pursuit of equality of opportunity is essential for a productive and professional working environment.

Locus+ fully accepts and welcomes the fact that society consists of many diverse groups and individuals, and that this diversity is an asset to Locus+, and its programme.

Our goal is equality of opportunity for everyone who participates, witnesses, works with or works for Locus+ and it’s programme and we will provide services and develop employment practices accordingly.
