The Snellville City Council recently approved a resolution redefining the Snellville Art Commission’s role as an advisory commission as opposed to one charged with staging events. The first task will be to recruit a new SAC Board, the second, will be for the commission to determine the best vendor to create a Community/Public Art Master Plan.
“SAC shall prepare, maintain and update a public art master plan which identifies locations for public art in the city and identifies other potential uses of art and needed cultural-related resources,” the resolution reads.
The city is seeking six new SAC members who will serve four-year terms (with the exception of three initial members who will only serve a two-year term so the membership terms will be staggered). A seventh member will be appointed annually by the mayor and council.
Under the new terms, SAC is not authorized to spend city money. Expenditures for art acquisition, performances, art programming, art education, fundraising and other purposes related to public and performing art in Snellville will be recommended to the city council for appropriation of funds.
