Public art on Vector network assets

Vector is the owner of the electricity and gas infrastructure that brings power to more than 1.6m Aucklanders. Our infrastructure – everything from large zone substations to small roadside transformers or cabinets – is spread throughout our communities. No matter what part of Auckland you live in, our infrastructure is part of your local neighbourhood. 

That’s why we’re happy to work with local artists and other organisations who want to take ownership of their spaces and make them look great. 

We’ve published guidelines that set out our approach to facilitating requests for public art on Vector’s network assets.

There are some important things to know about our approach:

• We’re happy to hear from you with any requests for public art or other beautification of our assets;

• For a variety of reasons, including fairness across all our communities, if requests are accepted they will be at your expense;

• We take care for the health and safety of the public and our environment, and we expect you to do the same if you’re working with our assets; and

• While these are our assets, they’re part of your community. We expect you to take ownership of your artwork through the process.

We’ve been lucky enough to work with artists and communities on more than 80 different public art displays that reflect the communities our assets are part of. Have a look through our gallery below.
