The Commission on Public Art voted Aug. 4 to promote Douglass Legacy Day, scheduled for Oct. 11 from 2 to 5 p.m., by sharing the event organizers’ vendor and artist application through the commission’s outreach channels.

Commissioners said the event charges artists a $25 vendor fee and accepts performing arts. Staff said the commission’s role would be promotional only: the organizers will handle vendor registration and the commission will distribute the organizers’ form to local artists and on its social channels.

A motion to promote Douglass Legacy Day passed unanimously. Commission staff agreed to post the organizers’ form on the commission’s channels and to share printed flyers and social posts to encourage artist participation.

No funding was committed by the commission for the event during the meeting.
