The Vision 2030 Public Art Committee is hoping to expand the influence of paintings, sculptures, digital designs and other art projects throughout Hall County, and they now have a supporter in Gainesville. City officials expressed their desire to help the committee install and maintain public art in the coming months and years as a way to beautify Gainesville, showcase local creatives and establish community events around the displays. Officials also expressed support for the committee’s request to make Gainesville Special Projects Manager Jessica Tullar a liaison to the group; allow the placement of art in midtown and other city properties; and consideration of including public art in future city construction projects.
