This appointee willl join seven other commissioners in representing the interests of the Town, community, and local artists as they advise the Town Council on the cultivation, selection, acquisition, and placement of public art.

Commissioners may be asked to attend additional meetings and work sessions as needed. Candidates ages 16 to 19 with experience, background, involvement, or interest in visual, performing, or literary art should provide a letter of interest addressed to the Mayor. Applicants may choose to include examples of their art or experience.

Application review will continue until the position is filled. For specifics on the responsibilities of the commission, applicants are encouraged to read the FHAC ordinance and policies posted on the Town website at www.fridayharbor.org.

Questions and application letter should be directed to:
