Public Art Advisory Committee

In 1997, Martin County established a public art program that included on-going funding for new artworks for public appreciation. In 2017, the Martin County Board of County Commissioners appointed the Community Redevelopment Agency Board members as the Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC). 

As of June 2022, twenty-three sculptures, mobiles, stained glass windows, murals, mosaics, benches and photographs are now on display. 

The Public Art Advisory Committee shall have the duty and responsibility to review the Public Art Manual,  Annual Budget and Maintenance Plans for review and approval by the Board of County Commissioners and to hold public meetings to solicit public comment for public art projects.
