Xsite is an online register of artists who create public artworks associated with the Canterbury region.

Xsite was created to facilitate the Council's partnership with the arts community in enhancing Christchurch's heritage and culturally-rich built environment.

The register's vision is to promote the vibrancy of Christchurch's urban environment for future generations to appreciate.

Enjoy the profiles of artists who live locally or have contributed to Christchurch's public art. Discover their work and learn how their contributions enhance our city.

If you are wanting to commission an artist to create a public work, then you' re in the right place. Enabling people to commission local artists was a primary motivator for creating Xsite.
