Elgin Cultural Arts Commission to host second Public Art Plan Community Forum

The City of Elgin Cultural Arts Commission invites the public to attend its second Public Art Plan Community Forum scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 23, at 7 p.m. in the Heritage Ballroom of The Centre of Elgin, 100 Symphony Way.

The commission will review the Public Art Plan and provide updates since the September forum.

The community's input will help determine the future of public art in Elgin, including sites and other decisions outlined in the plan.

Creating a Public Art Plan was first considered by the Cultural Arts Commission in April 2016 as part of an initiative to inventory current public art and to commission new public art. The creation of a Public Art Plan requires collaboration from the Cultural Arts Commission, city staff, and the community. The Public Art Plan will be submitted to city council for consideration at a future date.
