Village leadership has long recognized the importance of public art to our community. The Village established the Public Art Initiative (PAI) committee within the village in 2010 to serve as “an independent arts advisory consultant for the purpose of improving the cultural environment in the Village through the development of public arts”. In 2017, PAI incorporated as an independent 501c(3) non-profit organization.
While we are an independent organization, we do support the following shared goals with the Village of Egg Harbor:
- To create a more aesthetically pleasing environment for the residents and visitors of our community
- To integrate the design work of arts into public spaces through various and different mediums
- To preserve the Village’s permanent art collection
- To promote tourism through public art programs and events within the community
Our key initiatives with the Village include:
- Develop public art maintenance program
- Continue Celebrate! WI Sculptors program
- Continue Kress rotating art exhibits
- Continue Eggstravaganza (2025)
- Partner on development of artistic elements in the village infrastructure
