The city of Goleta is looking for three art-minded residents for its new Public Art Review Board (PARB).

“Your contribution as one of the first members will help make sure public art is a lasting and meaningful part of the city of Goleta,” the city said.

This past fall, the City Council adopted a city public art policy, which for the first time in Goleta’s history, has established the city’s vision for public art in the community.

The policy also creates a new reviewing body, the Public Art Review Board, and guides the review and approval process for local public art projects. Read the full policy here.

The five-member board will act as an advisory body to the City Council and staff on public art as described in the City of Goleta Public Art Policy.

There are three vacancies for art advisory members to serve three-year terms.

Prospective Public Art Review Board members must be city of Goleta residents and have training, knowledge, or experience in the arts.


The board has no regular meetings, but will meet as needed to review projects. Members are compensated $75 per meeting.

The application is available at www.CityofGoleta.org/BoardsCommissions. Applications are due by 5 p.m. April 23. For more, email CityClerkGroup@CityofGoleta.gov.
