Public art is coming to Ormond’s downtown.
On Tuesday, Dec. 19, the City Commission unanimously approved a request from the Ormond Beach Arts District to allow public art cabinet wraps at nine traffic signals and two streetlight cabinets along Granada Boulevard, from North Orchard Street to A1A. The wraps will feature art by nine Ormond Beach “masters” — all whom are working professional artists, have art displayed nationwide and have lived in Ormond Beach for 25 years or longer.
“Ormond has a great depth of artists and culture, but it’s not always visible,” said Julia Truilo, chairperson of the Ormond Beach Arts District. “Many artists make this their home, but we don’t see them.
The manufacturing and installation of the cabinet wraps should cost about $15,000, the city estimates. The funds, according to the agenda, will come from the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency funds.
