In February, 2017, the Public Art Committee (PAC), a subcommittee of the Arts and Humanities Bainbridge (AHB) Board, presented the City Council with a proposal for a new public art project titled "Something New." The project involves installation of three permanent plinths (bases) in the downtown Winslow area to be used to display artwork from various artists on a one-year rotation. 

In September, 2017, the City Council approved $26,000 of funding from the City's Public Art Fund to support a one-year pilot of the project. 

Project management for construction and installation of the bases for the artwork is the responsibility of Public Works staff. The recruitment and selection of artists is the responsibility of AHB, with assistance from PAC.

Using a jury process, PAC solicited for and selected three artwork pieces.  These are scheduled to be installed in June.

Representatives from PAC and AHB will provide the City Council with an update on the project progress, including selection of artwork, timing for installation, and plans for community engagement.
