Why is Public Art Important?

Redmond’s collection of public art showcases the city’s support of artistic innovation and public expression. In this month’s Redmond Connections video, Mayor Birney asks the city’s Poet Laureate and a member of the Arts Commission why they think art is important to Redmond and our community and invites you to share your thoughts @CityofRedmond #RedmondConnections.

Become a Solar Champion!

The City launched an investment campaign last week inviting the community to sponsor solar panels at the new Redmond Senior & Community Center. Leading the way in this sustainability initiative by sponsoring the first solar panels are Redmond Mayor Angela Birney, City Council President Tanika Padhye, Council member Vanessa Kritzer, Chief Operating Officer Malisa Files, and city directors Carrie Hite (Parks), Carol Helland (Planning), and Dave Juarez and family (Public Works). Those who invest in the new building help meet the environmental sustainability goals identified during the community feedback for this project.
