Public Art Selection Committee Members
Volunteers ages 14+ who like art are invited to apply to serve on public art selection committees
Public art selection committees review artist portfolios and select a small number of artists to be invited to submit designs for specific projects, ranging from small utility boxes to large projects on public property. Then, when designs are received, the committee reconvenes to rank the submissions and make a recommendation on which design they would choose for the site.
These are short-term volunteer projects, usually consisting of two evening meetings of 2-3 hours each. Apply online if interested!
Volunteer Translators are still needed to help translate and proofread documents. We have an immediate need for volunteers who can read and write Vietnamese and Spanish. This can be done through email. Contact tmclane@ci.milpitas.ca.gov.
