It’s been 47 years in the making, but on October 19th of this year, the very first Columbus Art Commission (CAC) was convened. Seven community leaders from Greater Columbus with expertise in the arts were appointed by Mayor Coleman and authorized by Columbus City Council to serve on the CAC. Chapter 3115 of the Columbus City Code authorizes the formation of the Commission and dates back to 1960. Per code, the CAC has authority over the city’s acquisition of art and the placement of art owned by the city and once a city-owned work of art is sited, the Commission’s approval is required before it can be removed, relocated, or altered.
