Redmond, WA – The
City of Redmond is recruiting a new volunteer member for the Arts and Culture
Commission to begin their term immediately. The vacant position is open to a Redmond
resident residing within city limits (98052 zip code). Arts and Culture Commissioners meet on
the second Thursday of every month and serve three-year terms.
In
addition to monthly meetings, Commissioners participate on special committees
and attend public meetings and events. They cultivate community engagement
around Parks and Recreation Department projects and programs as well as
occasionally attending City Council and other commission meetings. The
Commission also interfaces with the broader community, so that it can represent
community members’ interests to the City Council.
The
Commission continues to enhance the quality of life in Redmond by advising
staff and City Council on public programs that build community, celebrate
diversity, and enhance the vitality and identity of Redmond through performing,
visual, and participatory arts.
The
current work program for the Commission includes advising staff and City
Council on a program plan for Downtown Park and growing the arts in Redmond
through the Artist-in-Residence program, Poet Laureate program, Moving Art
Center programs, So Bazaar Night Market, the Arts Season grant program, and more. In addition,
the Commission will provide recommendations on a number of upcoming public art
projects including several city and regional transportation projects in
Redmond.
