Fort Pierce highlights youth art showcase; staff plans banner map and tour
Summary
Staff reported a Youth Better Art Showcase and recognition event with strong family turnout; staff presented plans to print and install children's banner art (expected within 30–45 days) and to publish a map and tour of banner locations.
Fort Pierce staff updated the redevelopment board on a Youth Better Art Showcase that featured student artwork and certificates and drew a large turnout of children and families. Staff said the children's banner art is being prepared for printing and installation and that the city will create a map showing where each child's banner will appear.
"The kids showed up and took pictures and the certificates that they created were great," a committee member said, praising staff for organizing the event and the certificates distributed to participants.
Staff said printing will take about 30–45 days and that organizers plan to assemble a map and consider a small tour of banner sites. The board discussed potential volunteer help to install banners and options for allocating leftover mural/banner funds to other youth or community art projects; specific funding decisions were not finalized at the meeting.
Staff will provide further updates as printing and installation proceed.
