What is the Edina Public Art Committee?

The residents of Edina have a strong sense of community and a love of culture and the arts. This public art program began in 2004 as a committee of the Edina Art Center Board of Directors. The Edina Public Art Committee is comprised of residents and City staff with the purpose of advising the City Council in regard to all matters pertaining to public arts within the community.

Goals include:

• Build awareness and pride in community heritage
• Serve as a vehicle for public education in the visual arts.
• Make recommendations for creative fund-raising mechanisms to public art displays.
• Promote economic development through the arts.

Members of the Committee are Chair Lois Ring, Bernice Amacher, Pat Beaver, Michael Frey, Barbara La Valleur, Mark Lidke, Amy Kerber, Bill McCabe, Anna Pugh and Anne Spooner.
