Board reports the first Mural Grant Program yielded six murals; the 2020 round is set to open January 22

At its January 9, 2020 meeting the Beautification and Public Arts Advisory Board, then staffed by the Amarillo Civic Center Complex general manager, heard that the Mural Grant Program paperwork had been approved for a launch on January 22, 2020, and that "last year's program yielded six murals and five applications." The board also discussed a separate beautification project, a gabion-cage art installation, to be bid with artists acting as contractors. On February 12 it voted unanimously to direct staff to proceed with that project at a Rails to Trails site.^[1]^[2]
