The Clearwater Public Art & Design Advisory Board convened on September 14, 2023, to discuss upcoming mural projects aimed at enhancing the community's artistic landscape. The meeting focused on selecting designs for two mural walls located at Coachman Park.

The first topic of discussion centered around a proposed mural featuring butterfly wings, which is designed using a native Florida butterfly species. Board members expressed their support for this design, emphasizing its local relevance. A motion was made and unanimously passed to move forward with the butterfly wings mural.

Following this, the board deliberated on the second mural, with options including an osprey and a tarpon. Members shared their preferences, highlighting the osprey's significance due to its presence in local parks and waterfront areas. Ultimately, the board decided to vote on the osprey and tarpon designs, indicating a strong inclination towards the osprey.

The meeting concluded with a consensus to proceed with the butterfly wings mural and to further evaluate the osprey and tarpon designs for the second mural. The board noted that these murals would be painted as permanent installations, with plans to rotate them every two to three years to keep the artwork fresh and engaging for the community.
