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 Public Art Policy approved in November 2011, is searching for five
new members to join the committee with one term to expire on June 30,

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 July 9, 2013, and applications can be downloaded
