artists and determine the artists they wished to see prepare a proposal for the project.
The committee carefully reviewed each artist, reviewing their past work, letter of interest, resume, and
materials/art from previous commissions.

Liaison)

allow the public to have input with the semi-finalists regarding what type of art they wished to see at the
Animal Shelter.
Ehrlich suggested waiting to set the date for the three presentations until she could discuss dates with

would take for each of them to complete their project presentations. She stated she would contact the
selection committee once a timeline was agreed upon.
