body
Presented By: Jenny Burden, ACV Executive Director
Recommendation and Review
Representatives from several sectors of the Harrisonburg community-higher education, public schools, government, nonprofits, and business-will collaborate to employ the arts to improve the pedestrian walkway connecting Liberty Park with Turner Pavilion, which is an element of the City’s Downtown Streetscape Plan. This group is applying for a grant from ArtPlace America and the National Creative Placemaking Fund. Because public property is involved, we will return to City Council to propose the specific art projects for approval if we are successful in obtaining the grant.
