The Pullman Arts Commission discussed the timeline for the End Racism Now mural during a meeting Tuesday afternoon.
PAC hopes to finish the mural by June 19. If the mural is not fully completed by then, PAC will create a rendering of the mural instead, said Dan Records, Pullman City Councilmember and subcommittee chair.
He said City Council took PAC’s recommendation to extend mural submission deadlines for the project. City Council created a subcommittee to help PAC with the project.
The city is restarting the project and committees involved are currently considering how they will accept submissions. The committee discussed ways to better incorporate public opinion while creating the mural, he said.
Pullman city councilmembers took the first step in reorganizing the downtown mural project Tuesday night, starting with approval to host a community town hall meeting.
The council approved a series of panels, where each one would be created on an annual basis over a period of several years.
“It’s the city’s commitment to engage in work on having a seat at the table in this community-wide conversation that’s been occurring about what does racism look like in our community, what does it mean to us and how do we address it,” Councilmember Dan Records said.
The city council art mural subcommittee, comprised of Records, Pat Wright and Eileen Macoll, met Feb. 23 and decided the group needed more input than themselves to make recommendations.
