| Public Art Opportunities for Artists deadline March1st @ 4:00pm |
| Public art has the power to energize and enhance our public spaces, make us think, and transform where we live, work, and play. Public art can be several stories high or bring attention to the pavement beneath our feet. It can inspire conversation and help calm our hurried lifestyles. It can also be controversial. |
| The City of Victoria Public Art Program is offering a variety of art opportunities for local artists, from emerging to established professionals. |
| Please check out their website for the details. |
