the years and gave some ideas to help get the City of Jeffersonville started in the "Making Art Public"
initiative. Mr. Lawrence presented the idea of public art as growth industry providing jobs and a
stronger economy as well as a way to build community unity and make the city vibrant. Mr. Lawrence
presented many ideas to the Council with one being a scavenger hunt for public art around the

positive feedback from the council with a few questions on the steps needing to take place to begin
some of the various projects.
