Volunteers
The Public Art Commission consists of 9 members: a museum curator, an architect or landscape architect, a representative of a local non-profit visual arts corporation/association, a visual art teacher, a commercial visual artist or designer, two established visual artists, and two at-large members.  Members must be residents of the City of Omaha.  Voting members may not serve on any other City board or commission.  This commission makes recommendations on artwork donated/acquired by City (i.e., artistic merit, value of pieces) and serves as an advisory committee to other City boards in all matters regarding art and aesthetics.

The Mayor makes all appointments to this commission.  If you are interested in a volunteer opportunity, please send a letter of interest, your resume and a completed Candidate Response Form to the address listed on the form.
