The City of Humboldt Public Art Committee looks to beautify the city's landscape with more potential public artworks. 

On Monday, May 6th, the committee invited building owners through a news release to express their interest in increasing access to public art in the city.

"We're just looking for public input in places to put murals, or updating existing murals. We have some ideas within our committee regarding some things we could do, but we just want to get a wider scope on what people think," said Barrie Broad, Chairperson for the Public Art Committee.

The committee hopes that willingness from businesses will go a long way towards installing new murals, and in turn, adding more life to the city's landscape.

"Public art helps create a sense of community and fosters a sense of belonging and pride for residents. Our Humboldt public art reflects our culture which can be used to market the unique qualities of our city.”

Current examples of public art in Humboldt include the Canada 150 Mural Mosaic on the SaskTel building and the Urban Lukan Silhouette Series scattered throughout the city.

If business owners are excited and interested about the opportunity they can contact Jennifer Fitzpatrick at the Humboldt and District gallery by emailing Jennifer.Fitzpatrick@sasktel.net
