The Clearwater Public Art & Design Advisory Board welcomed new members during its recent meeting, highlighting a commitment to enhancing the community's artistic landscape. Lisa Mills and Brian Ballotock introduced themselves, sharing their diverse backgrounds and enthusiasm for contributing to local art initiatives.

Mills, a local homeschool co-op teacher with a rich history in industrial design and retail, expressed her passion for art education and sustainable practices. With over a decade of experience in New York City and a focus on permaculture and landscaping, she aims to bring innovative ideas to the board.

The meeting also included a segment for citizens to voice their concerns, although one expected speaker was absent. This open forum reflects the board's dedication to community engagement and responsiveness to public input.

As the board moves forward, the integration of new members like Mills and Ballotock promises to enrich Clearwater's artistic endeavors, fostering a vibrant cultural environment for residents. The board's ongoing discussions and initiatives will continue to shape the community's artistic identity, ensuring that local voices are heard and represented.
