The Fayetteville Arts Council approved a set of recommended artworks for installation at Fayetteville City Hall on the second and third floors and potentially in the mayor’s office.

Staff presented the slate of artists and works recommended for City Hall display, including Sabine Schmidt (photograph of a Rosenwald School), Tom Day (digital painting), Kevin Gennar (digital work), Sean Fitzgibbons (acrylic/prismacolor), Ella Grace Trout (oil on canvas), Benjamin Daubs (pen and ink), Erin Blight (digital drawing), Katrina Allen (textile work), and Fiona Scoggin (digital transfer and quilted fabric). The council approved the recommendations by voice vote.

Staff said some initial pieces will be hung starting next week so that attendees at the July 1 City Council meeting will be able to see the first installations; the remainder of the slate will be installed over roughly three weeks as contracts and deliveries are completed. Council members thanked volunteer reviewers and the subcommittee members who assisted with selection.

The council also approved a set of alternate works for additional space as measurements indicated more wall area was available than originally anticipated. Staff will continue contract and installation logistics and will schedule a group celebration once most works are in place.
