The Center for Neighborhoods, in partnership with FORECAST Public Artworks, Intermedia Arts, and the Minneapolis Office of Cultural Affairs, and with the support of the McKnight Foundation, will be convening a series of community dialogues and coordinating a task force of city, county, and community representatives to inform and advance public art policy recommendations for both the City of Minneapolis and Hennepin County to consider. A focus on public art policy is timely and critical. As the City of Minneapolis and Hennepin County consider possible policy directions that will guide their support and assistance to public art, we have a golden opportunity to advance the discussion with a broader, more cohesive vision. You are an important voice in creating that vision. "It is critical, if we are to make a real and lasting commitment to public art, that we identify a city / county / community vision and partnership," stated Hennepin County Commissioner Gail Dorfman, in support of the initiative. Council Member Joan Campbell, also with a vote of support, said, "The insights and recommendations produced through a coordinated dialogue on public art, incorporating a wide range of community stakeholders, would be useful in informing (the City�s) efforts to establish policies, procedures and criteria that are responsive to community needs." The Community Dialogues on Public Art will be continued the week of October 22 � 25 to review proposed policy recommendations.
