Discussion of what scholarship monies can reimburse the recipient for: Art books, art supplies,pencils, markers,anything art related. Would like this program to go out to schools in the next month and will start with Jeffersonville High School and then possibly extend further. New Business Review 2018 Public Art Plan-Synergy Theme for 2018 is Synergy. A rich descriptor for our place in public art at this time. So many individuals, departments,and organizations are working in cooperation to ensure the successes of the creative capital forthcoming in our community. The interaction dialog,and planning between the various groups have a combined effect more impactful than the sum of their separate parts. Stay the course Jeffersonville and harness the synergy that is now.
