Art in Public Places selection committee to meet June 17

The Art in Public Places selection committee for the Deltona Regional Library expansion and Lyonia Environmental Center project will meet at 2 p.m. Wednesday, June 17, in the training rooms of the Thomas C. Kelly Administrative Center, 123 W. Indiana Ave., DeLand.

The committee was appointed by the Cultural Council of Volusia County, an advisory board to the Volusia County Council. Members will review submissions from 26 Florida artists in response to a “call to artists” issued earlier this year. Artwork recommended by the committee and approved by the Volusia County Council will be installed in the new areas of the complex upon completion in fall 2009. The public is invited to attend this meeting.

Volusia County’s Art in Public Places program provides for 0.5 to 1 percent of total construction costs to be set aside for procurement of artwork to be placed in public areas of all new, expanded or renovated county buildings.

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and Florida Statutes, persons with disabilities needing special accommodation to participate in the proceedings should request assistance at least two business days before the date of the meeting.

For more information or accommodation, contact Mike Fincher - cultural coordinator for Volusia County’s Parks, Recreation and Culture Division - at (386) 736-5953, ext. 5872, or mfincher@co.volusia.fl.us.
