What's on this agenda

Cary's public art advisory board had three works in front of it on April 15: a temporary GLOW installation by artist Julia Gartrell requested by the Downtown Cary Park cafe, a mural by Sean Kernick for the Koka Booth Amphitheatre, and a temporary wall mural for Pride Month. The first two were listed for review and action, the third for review and comment.

Staff also presented the FY 2027 budget for the department, and the board took an update on the Kildaire Farm cows project, which has a new artist.
