Join Public Art Plan Community Forum Wednesday

The City of Elgin Cultural Arts Commission invites the public to attend its Public Art Plan Community Forum at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21, in the east conference room of The Centre of Elgin, 100 Symphony Way.

The public will have an opportunity to participate in a discussion led by the Cultural Arts Commission, and provide feedback and input to help develop a comprehensive Public Art Plan prior to its submission to the city council for consideration.

As part of an initiative to inventory current public art and to commission new public art, the Elgin Cultural Arts Commission first considered creating a public art plan in April of this year. The creation of a public art plan requires collaboration from the cultural arts commission, city staff, and the community.

This forum is the first of two opportunities for the public to provide input.

A second community forum has yet to be scheduled.

For more information, contact Amanda Harris, staff liaison to the cultural arts commission, at harris_a@cityofelgin.org or (847) 931-6019.

The mission of the Elgin Cultural Arts Commission is to enhance the quality of life in our community by creating and supporting diverse, innovative, and accessible visual, performing, and cultural arts programming.
