Revere Public Arts Commission sets March meeting, plans Northern Strand celebration and seeks more members
Summary
The commission agreed to meet next on March 18, discussed raising membership to increase capacity, and formed a small planning group to stage a celebration for a completed Northern Strand Trail mural.
The Revere Public Arts Commission agreed on a March meeting date and outlined outreach and membership steps to accelerate neighborhood art projects.
Commissioners set March 18 as their next meeting date to report back on outreach and event plans. “March 18th will be our next meeting,” one commissioner said at the close of the session.
The commission discussed increasing the number of appointed seats so more subcommittees can act without creating quorum constraints. Commissioners noted the city’s cultural council has 19 members and said the arts commission should try to expand its membership to get more people working on logistics for installations and events.
Members formed a small event-planning group to organize a celebration for the recently completed Northern Strand Trail mural and identified local outreach channels — the Revere City social media accounts, the Revere Journal and local TV — as promotion targets. They also discussed using the large roadside screen at Wonderland T and local media partners to publicize arts events.
The group flagged a December motion, made earlier by a commissioner, asking the city to install lighting in underpasses; staff indicated that request is being routed through DCR, MassDOT and DPW as appropriate. Commissioners said they will follow up with city staff and agency contacts and will present a plan at the March meeting.
