WHY ARE WE HERE? The Leander Public Arts Commission is preparing
a master plan for public art in our community. A survey was conducted to inquire about the
types of art the community would like to experience.
Open House Meetings are scheduled to discuss draft goals and objectives.
Draft plan will be available for public comment by July 2014.
LPAC hopes to complete the master plan by November 2014 and then seek City Council approval.
