**Body:** City of Webster Groves

**Jurisdiction:** SLED

The City of Webster Groves Arts Commission met on November 3, 2026. The commission discussed pending notification of selected artists, which is awaiting city review of an agreement for the artists to sign. Members coordinated an Achievement in the Arts event with Webster University for December 11 and discussed invitations and RSVP arrangements. The commission also reviewed sculpture-garden plaque designs and voted on a design, though the discussion included a motion to revisit the earlier approval; the transcript does not clearly establish the final design decision. No contract awards, bid approvals, or specific spending amounts were reported.

Members reviewed a 38-page sculpture condition and repair assessment and agreed to follow up with Parks staff about existing maintenance responsibilities and any future repair needs; budget responsibility remains undetermined. The commission also discussed a proposed community fund that would include public art, a recently submitted grant application, youth-led research into a public art display space, and potential private involvement in the Ozark Theater concept. The theater effort is not expected to use city funds. No procurement activity or budget allocation was identified.
