The West Columbia Beautification Foundation and City of West Columbia is asking the public to participate in the Art On State project selection process. People are encouraged to look over two Art On State project proposals, “Chickens ‘Cross State” and “See me… on State Street”, at https://westcolumbiasc.gov/art-on-state/ and provide feedback by clicking on the comment button. After receiving public input, proposals will be presented to the West Columbia Beautification Foundation. The winning project will then be presented to West Columbia City Council for approval. Public comments will be received through October 30, 2015.
The West Columbia Beautification Foundation and the City of West Columbia have partnered together for a beautification project funded by a Connected Communities Grant through the Central Carolina Community Foundation. Rooted in the idea that expression fosters community and engagement, the West Columbia Beautification Foundation has called for ideas for an interactive public art exhibit that will leave a unique mark on State Street. The public interactive art project will be located near the corner of State Street and Meeting Street, and within a short walk from the West Columbia Riverwalk Amphitheater and Park, a robust recreational opportunity for visitors. The goal of this project is to develop an interactive art exhibit that leaves a lasting impression on visitors to the West Vista and State Street area. The public art should encourage visitors to participate or interact with the piece in a way that is fun and appropriate for all ages.
