Tiburon arts commission dissolves its public-art panel

Tiburon’s Heritage and Arts Commission has dissolved its public-art selection panel, which hasn’t met in more than a year and had effectively dwindled to just two active members from a peak of 11.

The 6-0 vote to formally dissolve the panel was taken at the board’s May 28 meeting and came on the recommendation of a subcommittee of Commissioners Trish Ferrin, Victoria Fong and Nora Noguez, which was previously created to address the panel’s future and if the project-review process could be achieved differently.
