Commission extends Arts and Culture Advisory Committee; members cite public art growth
Summary
The City Commission unanimously approved continuation of Dunedin’s Arts and Culture Advisory Committee, citing the Public Art Master Plan and more than a dozen installations in three years as justification.
Commissioners voted unanimously on April 15 to continue the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee (ACAC), endorsing the committee’s role overseeing the city’s Public Art Master Plan (PAMP) and public‑art funding formula.
Cindy Coleman, ACAC chair, reviewed the panel’s history, noting the committee’s role in producing 13 installations in the past three years, ongoing projects such as additional murals and signal box wraps, and the committee’s use of structured subcommittees to manage artist selection, RFPs and installations. Nicole Delfino, strategy and sustainability manager and ACAC liaison, introduced Coleman.
Commissioners praised the committee’s process‑driven approach and its contribution to Dunedin’s identity and economic vitality. The motion to continue the committee passed without dissent. Staff said the committee’s work follows the city’s public‑art funding ordinance, which implements a 0.5% public art funding formula on eligible above‑ground development costs.
