January, 2015 – Art in Public Places

Art In Public Places Displayed in Wellington Buildings

Wellington is excited to announce that the 10^th Annual Art In Public Places Program for the 2014-2015 year is now being displayed in three Wellington Municipal locations.  The artwork will be on display at the Wellington Professional Centre (12230 Forest Hill Blvd), Wellington City Hall (12300 Forest Hill Blvd) and Village Park Gymnasium (11700 Pierson Rd) until August 2015.  The public is invited to view the artwork during normal business hours.

The Art in Public Places program is a collaborative effort between the Wellington Art Society and the Village of Wellington.  The program, which began in 2005, has continued to grow and attract local artists from around Palm Beach County.  The “Call to Artists” is announced in September with an October due date.  The artwork is chosen, collected, and then displayed through August of the following year.  An Artists’ Reception was held on Wednesday, January 14^th from 5:30-6:00pm.  The chosen participants were able to view the artwork, meet fellow artists and enjoy refreshments provided by the Wellington Art Society.
