public art oversight committee

All projects funded by the City of Memphis' Percent-for-art program require approval from project specific selection committees and the Public Art Oversight Committee or PAOC. PAOC is a seven member committee that reviews all Percent-for-art projects, meeting on the second Wednesday of every month at 1 pm at UAC. Similar to selection committees, PAOC is comprised of representatives from the broader Memphis community, visual artists or arts professionals, an architect and a UAC board member. Monthly PAOC meetings and selection committee meetings are open to the public.

The current committee includes Coriana Close (Artist and Professor, University of Memphis), Eso Tolson (Artist), Jana Travis (Chairman of Visual and Performing Arts, Christian Brothers University), Lisa Law (LRK-Looney Ricks Kiss), Patricia Lee Daigle (Director, Martha & Robert Fogelman Galleries of Contemporary Art and Visiting Assistant Professor -University of Memphis) and Nefertiti Orrin (Community Lift and UAC board member).
