DURHAM, N.C. - Durham residents with a love of art now have another

The Board, charged with advising the City Council on implementation of
the new Public Art Policy approved in November 2011, is searching for

public art in the City of Durham.
The committee is charged with assisting the City's Office of Economic

projects brought to it by the City Administration and makes
recommendations to the Durham Cultural Advisory Board regarding project
approvals.
The committee meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 8 a.m. at the
Durham Arts Council in downtown Durham. Members serve without
compensation and must reside within the City of Durham or work within
the City of Durham and actively contribute to the cultural and economic
sectors. Priority in appointments will be given to City residents. The
application deadline is August 31, 2012, and applications can be
downloaded from the City's website at
