Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

The City of Palatka is considering a new Public Art & Placemaking Program Framework. This program would shift from direct city funding to a grant-based model for public art. The framework aims to create a consistent funding process, clarify ownership and maintenance, and reduce city liability. As an interim step, the city plans to refresh existing murals on city buildings, with immediate costs totaling $9,500 for City Hall, the Annex/Former Post Office, and the Price Martin Center. This item is currently under review, with the Community Redevelopment Agency Board being asked to provide direction on how to proceed with program development. The work would involve planning, design, and potentially the contracting of artists and muralists for the refresh, with future phases involving the development and implementation of the grant program. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like painting, restoration, and general contracting may find opportunities as the program develops and the interim mural refresh moves forward. Early engagement could be beneficial as plans are refined.
