Public Art Advisory Board

 In an effort to establish a collection of artistic works for the benefit of the community and the betterment of public spaces and facilities, the Clayton Town Council established the Public Art Advisory Board on February 4, 2008. 

 The purpose of the Public Art Advisory Board is to establish a procedure through which the Town of Clayton can acquire and accept artwork on loan or as a gift and make recommendations to the Town Council toward the creation of a Public Art Program. 

 Additionally, the Public Art Advisory Board will review and make recommendations to the Council for all acquisitions and exhibition of all artwork loaned to, donated to, purchased by, or commissioned by the Town of Clayton, with the exception of the rotating monthly exhibits inside the Clayton Center lobby area as it is administered by the Clayton Visual Arts.  Furthermore, the Public Art Advisory Board will establish guidelines for the acquisition, maintenance, and removal or relocation of all public art as necessary within the Town of Clayton. 

 Public art shall be defined as any and all forms of visual art conceived in any medium placed in areas accessible or visible to the pubic and will not include any architectural or landscape design, except when commissioned and designed by an artist. 

 The Clayton Town Council shall appoint five members to serve on the Public Art Advisory Board who have special knowledge, interest or experience in the arts, including key business leaders, design professionals, educators, civic and community groups and property owners.  The Public Art Advisory Board shall develop by-laws for operation and policies for the performance of the duties assigned by the Town Council and it shall make periodic reports to the Council on its activities, goals, and accomplishments at least once per calendar year.
