The Public Art Review Board ("PARB") meets about four times during the year. In June, it meets for its annual evaluation of requests from artists who would like to exhibit their work in the Chambers of the Board of County Commissioners. The Board is also charged with approving the annual Public Art Action Plan (see below) and Artist Selection Panel recommendations with respect to County Capital Improvement Projects.
