Committee confirms two Milwaukee Arts Board appointments
Summary
The Community and Economic Development Committee confirmed Travis Landry and reappointed Melele Cox to the Milwaukee Arts Board. Landry emphasized youth outreach and his design background; Cox cited long-time leadership in Bronzeville arts. Both confirmations passed by unanimous 'no objection.'
The Community and Economic Development Committee on Monday confirmed two appointments to the Milwaukee Arts Board, voting without objection to approve Travis Landry and to reappoint Melele Cox.
Travis Landry told the committee he has worked in community arts projects and is "currently at Northwestern Mutual as a product designer," and said he hopes to "bring the youth together" on the board. Chairman Russell Stanford II introduced Landry and Alderman Mark Chambers moved his confirmation; the committee approved by hearing no objections.
Melele Cox, speaking as a longtime advocate for arts in Bronzeville, said she has chaired boards and has been "immersed" in the district's artistic community for the past 18 years. Cox emphasized the importance of public art and city support for arts organizations. Alderman Deandre Jackson moved Cox's reappointment and the committee confirmed her by unanimous 'no objection.'
Both appointments were processed quickly during the committee's consent-style agenda and require no further committee action. Staff did not identify any outstanding conditions or follow-up tasks tied to the confirmations.
