Body
The Arts Advisory Panel was established for the purpose of making recommendations to the Cultural Development Board (a seven member Board comprised of five members appointed by the Commission, one appointed by the City Manager, and one appointed by the Board-as-a-whole) regarding the selection, creation, and acceptance of works of art. Qualifications state that panel members shall be professionals in the visual arts, museum administration, gallery administration, public arts administration, art history, design, architecture, landscape architecture or urban design and that the Arts Advisory Panel shall be recommended to the City Commission by the Cultural Development Board, with the City Commission having final approval over the members.
Due to a vacancy on the Panel, on October 02, 2018 the Cultural Development Board reviewed the resume of a recommended arts professional in the area of conservation, and voted unanimously to recommend appointment of Emily MacDonald-Korth, forensic conservator, to the Arts Advisory Panel.
The current members of the Arts Advisory Panel are Dr. Carol Damian, professor and former director of the Frost Art Museum; Dr. Jill Deupi, director of the Lowe Art Museum; Herbert Brito, architect and designer; Jacek Kolasinski, director of Ratcliffe Art + Design Incubator and associate professor at FIU; Juan Roselione-Valadez, director of the Rubell Family Collection; and Freda Tschumy, prominent artist and sculptor.
