Mission Statement:

The Artwork Selection Committee’s understanding of its mission or purpose is:

  • To showcase artwork by Florida artists, with an emphasis on area artists
  • To organize exhibitions which serve as an introduction to the diversity of talent among area artists
  • To heighten public awareness of the visual arts in our community
  • To enhance the educational and cultural opportunities available to visitors
  • To beautify and maintain the aesthetic character of the City

All Committee members understand and embrace this purpose, having chosen to serve on the Artwork Selection Committee because they have a personal desire to ensure that these goals and objectives are met through this program.  The exhibitions organized and presented by the Artwork Selection Committee have been selected with these goals in mind.

Visitors and City employees continue to express a very positive reaction to the aesthetic enhancement of City Hall.  The program thus serves to offer additional exhibition opportunities to area artists to reach a non-art audience and to enhance the working and business environment of City Hall.
