Residents are invited to attend a series of community input meetings on plans to bolster public art throughout Woodstock.

The first meeting, scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 8 at the Chambers at City Center, will provide an overview of Art Woodstock’s mission, vision, process and timeline to create a proposed Art Master Plan.

Woodstock Mayor Donnie Henriques will be on hand to launch the first meeting.

Art Woodstock is dedicated to creating, implementing and maintaining a master plan for the city. The volunteer-based group seeks to bring more public art to the city, which it argues will promote and nurture a vibrant community rich in culture.

A strategic consulting team will be present to answer questions from the audience. All Woodstock residents, business owners and stakeholders are encouraged to attend and provide input.

Following that initial meeting, a series of drop-in meetings will be held throughout the city to reach a broad sector of citizens and stakeholders.

These meetings are scheduled for:
