TREASURE ISLAND â An ecological mural program that would adorn walls of public buildings with creative images drew unanimous support from city commissioners during their first workshop of 2021.
However, staff now has to design a way to acquire grants and pay artists for their creative masterpieces.
Public art is a goal in the cityâs Master Park Plan, Assistant Park Director Justin Tramble told commissioners at the Jan. 5 work session.
For several months Mariah Kaylor, a recent graduate of St Petersburg Collegeâs Public Policy Program, worked with the Recreation Department to assess residentsâ desire for the city to focus on providing public art that promotes ecological education, Tramble said.
