Lynn Public Art Commission
About
The Lynn Public Art Commission is the city body that promotes the value of public art in Lynn. It sets out a strategic vision for art in public places and puts that vision into practice by issuing requests for proposals, commissioning artists and coordinating the installation of new works. The commission also builds collaborative selection processes so that city departments and residents have a say in which public art projects move forward.
The commission has ten members, with five appointed by the Mayor and five by the City Council. Anyone interested in public art and in shaping a long-term plan for it is welcome to apply, and city leaders aim for membership that reflects the diversity of Lynn’s residents. Working artists, staff of Lynn nonprofits, local business owners and members of the Lynn Cultural Council are among the backgrounds it especially seeks.
