Explanation:
The City of Hollywood Artwork Selection Committee was created in June 1994 to review, select and display appropriate artwork, including photography, loaned or donated to the City for exhibition on the walls of the foyers and corridors of City Hall at 2600 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, Florida.
The duties of the expanded committee include reviewing artwork that could be acquired by the City through commission, donation, or purchase for placement within City facilities.
Resolution R-2018-171 was amended to increase the membership of the Artwork Selection Committee from nine to ten members, to include a student member and an Art & Culture Center Representative.
The Artwork Selection Committee is comprised of members who are from the artistic and cultural community, are associated with artists in various media in Florida, and have leadership in numerous cultural organizations, which is an essential component when selecting board members to attract new talent to City Hall.
