stakeholders will review and make an artist selection for the public art for Pine Park on Jan. 25.
Artist Michael McLaughlin is working on design concepts for the public art of Aviara Park.
February is Commissioners Voll and DeForest's last Arts Commission meeting. The city did a press release, and
publicized the vacancies in the Arts News and an e-blast. The response has been promising and the city hopes
to fill the vacant positions soon.
Based on input from the Arts Commission at last month's meeting, the consultant has been rescheduled to
begin the community cultural plan process in Mar. Key individuals from all areas of the community need to be
