Bus shelter art project gets OK from Gainesville City Council
Placeholder Image
City Council gave the go-ahead Tuesday to Hall Area Transit’s plan to begin displaying works of art on or around Gainesville Connection bus shelters by August. The art, selected from more than 80 submissions reviewed by the Vision 2030 Public Art Committee, will be etched on glass, attached to the shelters or exist as freestanding pieces. The project is supported by a $50,000 federal grant that seeks to introduce art that builds on the city’s sense of community and connecting people.
