Durham Seeks Public Art Committee Applicants
Application Deadline August 11th

DURHAM, N.C. - Durham residents with a love of art now have another opportunity to serve on the Durham Cultural Advisory Board Public Art Committee.

The Board, charged with advising the City Council on implementation of the Public Art Policy approved in November 2011, is searching for four new members to join the committee with terms to expire on June 30, 2016.

The Durham Cultural Advisory Board serves as an advisory body to the City Council and the City Administration. The Public Art Committee advises the Board and acts on behalf of the Board on matters relating to public art in the City of Durham.

The committee is charged with assisting the City's Office of Economic and Workforce Development and advising on the implementation of the Public Art Policy. The committee also reviews proposals for public art 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 or work within the city limits and actively contribute to the cultural and economic sectors. Priority in appointments will be given to city residents. The application deadline is 5 p.m. on August 11, 2014 and applications can be downloaded from http://www.DurhamCulture.org.

Completed applications should be sent to Cultural and Business Initiatives Coordinator Peter Coyle with the City's Office of Economic and Workforce Development at 807 East Main St., Suite 5-100, Durham, N.C. 27701. For more information, contact Coyle by email at Peter.Coyle at DurhamNC.gov<mailto:Peter.Coyle at DurhamNC.gov> or by calling (919) 560-4965, ext. 15205.
