CASPER, Wyo. — The Wyoming Arts Council is hosting its initial committee meeting for the upcoming Art in Public Buildings project.
That’s according to a release from the council, which states that the project will be displayed at Central Wyoming College’s new Jackson Outreach Campus.
The meeting will be held virtually on Monday, May 12 at 3 p.m. Members of the public are invited to call in to the meeting and listen to an explanation of the program, as the committee discusses guidelines for the artwork.
“The Art in Public Buildings program is administered by the Wyoming Arts Council and was established in 1991 to set aside a portion of capital construction funds for the sole use of commissioning public art for the building,” the release states. “Since then, over 200 pieces of art have been placed in and around buildings across Wyoming for the public to enjoy.”
Members of the public can call +1 314-730-2044, PIN: 344 650 994# to listen in. All callers will be muted for the duration of the meeting and won’t be able to comment unless prior arrangements were made. Public comment requests can be made by contacting Ismael Dominguez at ismael.dominguez@wyo.gov at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting.
“Listening to Art in Public Buildings committee meetings is a great way to involve the wider constituency in our public art program process. The committee members always appreciate participating, and this is also an opportunity for artists to gain insight into the process,” said Dominguez, the programs specialist for the Wyoming Arts Council.
