PALMDALE – The city of Palmdale is inviting residents to help shape the future of public art in Palmdale by participating in a Community Forum on Tuesday, Feb. 6, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., at Legacy Commons for Active Seniors, located at 930 East Avenue Q-9.
The program will include a brief presentation of current public art projects around the country and will give residents the opportunity to voice their opinions. Input from the forum will be used in the recommendations for the city’s Public Art Master Plan, projected for completion in the spring of 2018.
“What is the role of public art in Palmdale? How can it benefit the community? What locations and places in Palmdale would you like to see public art? These are some of the questions we want to talk about with the community as we work towards finalizing our Public Art Master Plan,” stated Palmdale’s Director of Recreation and Culture Keri Smith.
Residents are also encouraged to participate by taking a short online survey available in English and Spanish at www.cityofpalmdale.org/Visitors/PublicArt.
In only 10 to 15 minutes, you can help us to better understand where and how public art can have a strong impact in your community.
The survey is available at www.cityofpalmdale.org or through the following links:
“We look forward to having our residents join us in the conversation to guide Palmdale’s future investment in public art,” Smith added.

I love public art in cities! I believe it brings the community together when people bring their ideas to share. It makes the city unique.

Provide my input? I cant walk down the street here in east palmdale without worry that I will be killed by the ghetto trash that lives here or by the police that come to rescue me from it… maybe I should just stay inside…

I walk around East Palmdale with no problems. I stay away from places in the AV where I know there’s trouble, like 10th East and Q, downtown Lancaster, J and 20th, Gadsen.

Waist of money right now. We all know its going to end up on the West side anyways. Use the money for something more important that will bring money to the city and residents that will create jobs. Then in the future build the art piece. I’m tired of seeing money waisted on projects with good intentions that gets defaced buy others that dont care.
Tired says
I’m so tired of the east side / west side bull crap. We are all one city, and dividing us by the imaginary line at Division St. is ridiculous, small thinking.
Tom, if you live on the east side and would like to see public art there at some time in the future, speak up. If you don’t, then whatever happens you’ll have to live with because you chose to comment here rather than participate.
