Hello Megan,

 

The Edmonton Arts Council has included plaques on all public art installs since 2010. We use vinyl on dibond – specs from the fabricator below:

 

 

We then screw them to custom made plaque stands, or attach with incredibly strong double-sided tape or adhesive to a nearby wall.

 

Theft is not really a problem – we maybe have to do one or two replacements per year. We do rounded corners as pointy ones were identified as a risk by the City of Edmonton.

 

Hope that helps

Eva Marie

Subject: signage on outdoor public art

 

Hi all,

 

We are working on getting all of our outdoor public art labeled. Currently, we have a few different types of signage--most of it is metal (stainless steel or otherwise) that is bolted to concrete or the base of the sculpture. However, we have an issue with signage getting stolen.

 

I'm wondering if any of you have experience with this and have found something that works well and is not enticing to steal or vandalize. Engraved stainless is pretty expensive when you are looking at labeling 75 pieces of art. What is the best way to attach the signage so that it can't be stolen? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you!


Megan
