# Public Arts Advisory Board | June 10, 2026

The Town of Christiansburg Public Arts Advisory Board met June 10, 2026, to review public-art projects and discuss ways to expand arts activity. Members received an update on signal-cabinet artwork: one installation is complete, another near the sheriff’s department is underway, and two more are in progress or delayed. The board discussed promoting the artists and completed installations through town public relations and social media after the series is finished. The 2026 photo-of-the-year contest has been advertised, with a deadline thought to be in late November.

Members also discussed a possible mural at the downtown post office, for which the postmaster has indicated interest; an artist and funding would still need to be identified, and the project should follow the board’s approval process and any applicable historic-review requirements. Other ideas included displaying children’s or employee artwork, offering art activities for children and seniors, a donated painted piano, and a small arts market or festival in partnership with local organizations. Follow-ups include contacting the post office about the mural process, checking whether the piano is still available, and asking Parks and Recreation about art classes. No votes, contract awards, or spending approvals were reported; potential costs and funding were discussed but not decided.
