At the May 26 meeting the Nevada City Public Arts Commission completed its annual officer elections: Commissioners elected Shannon Harney as chair and Gianna Arbex as vice chair by roll-call vote.
The chair‑and‑vice‑chair nominations and votes took place after the commission’s business agenda. Commissioners confirmed willingness to serve and recorded unanimous roll‑call votes. The commission noted the new officers’ terms and that formal appointment timing aligns with the commission’s broader appointment calendar.
Following elections, staff reported a Pride flag‑raising ceremony June 1 coinciding with the Champ Gallery opening; commissioners discussed possibilities for coordinating gallery receptions, participating in summer art walks (June–August) and logistics for painted pianos planned for downtown events. Staff said pianos are intended to remain in place through the summer with occasional movement for tuning and sun‑exposure considerations.
The meeting adjourned at 7:09 p.m.
