The Public Art Committee (PAC) plays a key advisory role in shaping Sarasota’s vibrant public art landscape. Governed by the City of Sarasota Zoning Code (Article III, Division 5), the PAC provides insight and recommendations on the selection, placement, installation, and removal of public art throughout the city.
The committee is comprised of six members appointed by the City Commission, including a student representative from the Sarasota County STAR Leadership Training program. Their combined expertise and perspectives help ensure that public art in Sarasota reflects both community values and artistic excellence.
The PAC meets regularly and welcomes public engagement in its efforts to support a dynamic and thoughtfully curated public art collection.
The Public Art Committee meets on a quarterly basis and meetings are open to the public. The committee typically hosts the meetings in Commission Chambers, unless otherwise noticed. Public comments may be submitted via e-mail by the submission deadline to PublicArt@SarasotaFL.gov or public comments may be submitted in-person during committee meetings.
Public Art Committee meeting agendas and minutes are available under the tab "Public Art Committee."
