Officials voted to appoint Kelly Shannon, assistant professor and art education coordinator in the Department of Fine Arts at Stillman College, to the Public Art Advisory Committee.

A meeting participant identified only as Miss Day said the Public Art Advisory Committee sent solicitations to Shelton State, Stillman College and the University of Alabama; the committee received three applications and recommended Shannon. Miss Day said there were two applicants from Stillman College and one from the University of Alabama; Shelton State did not respond after multiple contacts.

A motion to approve the appointment was made and seconded and passed by voice vote, with members answering “Aye.” The transcript does not show a roll-call tally or the names of the mover and seconder.

Why it matters: The Public Art Advisory Committee helps guide public art selection and placement; the committee’s own recommendation drove the appointment, and the nominee’s academic role in art education was cited by committee members.

Meeting context: The item drew brief comment and no recorded opposition. Miss Day presented the recommendation and thanked the committee for its work.
