Her role as Curatorial Advisor to the Barangaroo Delivery Authority and Lend Lease for Barangaroo (2014–16) saw her steer the process of selecting and commissioning artists for a range of innovative, site-specific artworks for the new precinct, Barangaroo South on Sydney Harbour. As Curatorial Advisor to the City of Sydney for the City Centre (2013–20), Flynn drafted the 2013 City Centre Public Art Plan (unanimously adopted by the City’s councillors), and identified artists to be part of the transformation of central Sydney and George Street. Over the eight years of her tenure, Flynn worked closely with City staff to deliver the artworks, ensuring the viability of the City’s relationships with the artists and the quality of the final product. South of Sydney, Flynn has overseen the realisation of an award-winning suite of works by New Zealand artist Mike Hewson for the revitalised Crown Street Mall, on behalf of Wollongong City Council.
Flynn presents regularly to the approval authorities of the City of Sydney and the New South Wales Government. These relationships have given her the experience to know what the City and its Public Art Advisory Panel will require, and the polish to advocate effectively and successfully for projects at all stages of the work and the approvals processes. She is author of more than 30 public art plans that have been held up as model reports by experts in the field.
