The deadline to apply has passed. Thank you for your interest in the Newport Public Arts Committee.
OCCA seeks applicants for the Newport Public Arts Advisory Committee (NPAAC), the mission of which is to enhance community spaces through the promotion, creation, and preservation of public art. Community members, artists, and representatives from Newport and surrounding communities are sought and will be selected based on their expertise, dedication to the arts, and commitment to community development.
The ideal applicants will feel a passion for and a commitment to NPAAC’s purpose – which is to foster cultural enrichment and community pride by integrating art into public spaces, support the creation of artwork that complements the natural beauty, diverse identities and history of the region; and serve as a resource for local artists, civic leaders, and community members seeking to develop public art projects. The committee will be tasked with developing and overseeing public art projects, managing the selection and commissioning of new works, advocating for public art funding, and coordinating public art conservation and maintenance efforts.
