BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
Since 2018, the Martin County AIPP program has worked collaboratively with MartinArts in support of the county's annual, premier arts festival, ArtsFest. The Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) has voted unanimously to allocate an annual sponsorship of $10,000 to ArtsFest from the AIPP Capital Project budget.
As always, the Martin County AIPP program will continue to focus on marketing our mission and programs, educating the community about public art, our art inventory and how to get involved. This year, in collaboration with MartinArts, AIPP will sponsor a live mural painting experience celebrating Martin County's centennial. The theme, A Vision of Martin County 100 Years from Now, invites viewers to imagine the county's future. AIPP staff will host the People's Choice Award from their booth during the two-day festival. All attendees will also have the opportunity to pick up a "mural passport" that will encourage attendees to view each one, bring back their completed passport and win a prize.
AIPP will receive its usual benefits: booth space, tent, chairs, tables, and program advertising. Jennifer Hearn, Sr. Programs Manager with MartinArts can answer any questions as well.
