DeKalb County celebrated Arts Awareness Month during its recent Board of Commissioners meeting, showcasing local talent through a display of artwork from the Privy Art Gallery. Commissioner Bolton took a moment to highlight the contributions of local artists, including Cecil Bernard, Patricia Coleman Cobb, and Ramiga, whose pieces were prominently featured in the meeting room.

The displayed artworks included Bernard's circular piece and Cobb's "Song in My Heart," along with Ramiga's "The Black Mona Lisa." This initiative aims to promote community engagement with the arts and recognize the importance of cultural expression within DeKalb County.

In addition to the art presentation, the meeting included procedural announcements regarding public hearings. Citizens were informed about the guidelines for speaking on zoning ordinances and other agenda items, emphasizing the importance of orderly participation in local governance.

The meeting underscored the county's commitment to fostering a vibrant arts community while ensuring that public discourse remains structured and respectful. As DeKalb County continues to support local artists, residents can look forward to more initiatives that celebrate and integrate the arts into community life.
