The original Broadcasting House commissioned an inspiring range of contemporary artists and designers to work on the building. The New Broadcasting House Project continues this tradition with a major new Public Art Programme, working across diverse artforms from scultpure and light to colour, text and photography.

Featured artists include such well-known, international names as Mark Pimlott, Jaume Plensa, Antoni Malinowski, Martin Richman, Tony Cooper, Rachel Whiteread, Nick Danziger, John Riddy, Catherine Yass, Richard Wentworth, Fiona Rae, William Furlong, Liz Rideal, James Fenton and many more.

The Public Art Programme is curated in 4 sections:

  • Permanent – artworks that integrate into the architecture
  • Temporary – visual artworks used as 'wraps' on the construction scaffolding
  • Community – artworks devised for and with members of the local community, especially schools and colleges
  • Broadcasting House Collection – artworks produced by different artists' responses to the Broadcasting House 'site'

The Public Art Programme for the New Broadcasting House Project was devised by Modus Operandi Art Consultants.
