Douglas County residents, business owners, and employees are invited to contribute their ideas and suggestions for public art by completing an Online Questionnaire.
“In keeping with the master plan, the county is committed to continuously improving quality of life and community vibrancy through streetscape improvements and public art installations that enhance the visual appeal and vibrancy of our communities,” officials said. “Public art expresses local culture and heritage, beautifies communities, and enhances the local business environment.”
Douglas County is working with arts & culture planning consultant Debra Soule to assist in preparing the new Art in Public Places Program.
The program will be based upon countywide engagement with County and Town staff, with arts and culture organizations, businesses, and the community at large to inform the long-term vision, goals, and procedures for public art throughout Douglas County.
Paper copies of the questionnaire will also be available at Douglas County Community and Senior Center, Kahle Community Center, and Library locations in Minden and at Zephyr Cove.
