City Commission Workshop
City Commission Workshop
The draft plan will be presented to the Ormond Beach City Commission for a workshop on April 1, 2025 at 5:30 pm.
Why is public art important to us?
Public art can celebrate and make visible our collective vision, values, and traditions. It expresses the many directions that shape our communities and characterize our sense of place. Public art can be used to activate public spaces and invigorate communities. Thoughtfully implemented public art can offer cultural meaning to Ormond Beach and convey its spirit and energy to ourselves and our visitors.
Why Does Ormond Beach need a Downtown Master Arts Plan?
The Ormond Beach Downtown Master Arts Plan will help integrate and unite our City through defining and projecting our values and unique qualities to the immediate region and the world beyond our borders. Our plan will create a roadmap for how we begin to activate our many communities to implement and enjoy public art while also celebrating Ormond Beach’s unique spirit and creativity.
How can art transform a city?
Public art provides meaning to our public spaces, reflects our history, current conditions and the aspirations of our city. It adds distinct character to our neighborhoods, and humanizes our built environment. Public art provides the intersection between our past, present, and future, and also has the power to elevate and unite our city through its unique ability to create gains in social, economic, and cultural value.
-
When people see themselves reflected in their civic spaces, they have a sense of attachment that allows them to feel ownership and respect.
-
Enhancing the identity and character of Ormond Beach through public art directly supports cultural tourism and economic development strategies, which can attract and retain residents and businesses.
-
Public Art has the power to invite contemplation, cultivate curiosity and creative thinking, and to create uniqueness through the reflection of local history and culture which gives communities a sense of place and identity.
