The Art in City Life Commission, established in 2016 under Mayor Jorge Elorza, was formed to create standardized policies and procedures for public art, monuments, memorials, and markers on publicly held land and set guidelines for private developers.
The Art in City Life Plan, unveiled in April 2018, is a blueprint for the Art Culture + Tourism Department to commission temporary and permanent artworks through ACT Public Art.
The Art in City Life Commission is composed of nine members from the following constituencies in Providence: independent working artists, art organizations and affiliations, universities and colleges, the private sector. Appointees serve one or two-year terms with the opportunity to renew for a total of three consecutive terms.
