However, before the public art money is approved it was suggested to make sure that another project that can make more of an impact is looked at before saying yes. • The arts plaza is being presented at the Public Session for anyone wanting to join. • An artist call was suggested about people wearing masks. Have signage, posters etc. to campaign around town. • The MA campaign was in January and well received. The connection magazine will come out the articles about each honoree.
