The city of Williamsburg may be getting a new public art installation soon.
During a work session on Monday, Jan. 11, City Council discussed plans to establish a nine-member Public Art Council to oversee the creation of new art works in the city.
The fund would be established via a one-time allocation of $165,000 from COVID-19 Tourism Resiliency Funds, according to DeWitt.
The Public Art Council would have the authorization to spend 10% of the figure annually, however, it would need City Council approval to spend more in a given year.
The Public Art Council itself would comprise of two City Council members, a member of the Architectural Review Board, a planning commission member, the Economic Development Agency, the Williamsburg Area Arts Commission, a member of the Tourism Development Grant Review Committee, and two appointees from the community.
