The Lang Lang Public Art Project aims to honour the town’s rich rodeo history through the installation of a new public artwork. Following an extensive community engagement process, a sculpture has been created to celebrate this proud heritage.

The artwork features an equine theme to commemorate the Lang Lang rodeo and is made from materials that reflect Lang Lang’s rural setting while meeting Council maintenance requirements, including anti-graffiti measures. This project not only embraces Lang Lang’s rodeo legacy but will also enhance the town’s cultural landscape.

Following a Council resolution on 16 September 2024, the selection and commissioning of the artist for this project has been entrusted to the CEO.

We would like to introduce you to Adam Humphreys, a Welsh sculpture artist who specialises in equine and figurative pieces and has been appointed to complete the public art piece in Lang Lang. Adam is known for using mild steel and bronze to create breathtaking pieces that truly embody the movement and character of the horses. With large scale sculptures and smaller bronze pieces in public and private collections across the UK, Southern Africa, New Zealand and Australia, Adam's work is gaining traction globally.

An Arts and Culture Reference Group, a team dedicated to ensuring public art continues to celebrate community identify and culture is currently being established. This group, which will include councillor representatives and community members, will provide leadership and insight to make sure art projects truly reflect local voices across our shire.
