A community forum to discuss the public art master plan is scheduled for Wednesday, March 20 at 6:30 p.m. The city of Claremont is currently working with a consultant to prepare the plan, which aims to identify a unified community vision, clarify key themes and values and provide direction for the selection and placement of public art throughout the community.

The master plan will serve as a tool to address funding sources, review criteria and define the staffing levels and decision-making processes necessary to achieve the community’s vision for public art. Staff and the consultant are currently seeking input from the community on all of the above topics related to public art.

The community is invited to attend the public meeting in the Padua Room at the Hughes Community Center. Comments and questions may also be submitted via email to Melissa Vollaro, community and human services manager at mvollaro@ci.claremont.ca.us or by phone at 399-5490.
