# Flagstaff Beautification and Public Art Commission Meeting - November 9, 2026

The City of Flagstaff Beautification and Public Art Commission met on November 9, 2026. Commissioners unanimously approved the October meeting minutes and, later, a motion to approve the Beautification in Action grant applicants who presented. Proposals included Willow Bend Environmental Education Center’s “Night Ecology Art and Science After Dark” event, which requested the full $8,000; a Flagstaff music-and-plant-themed mural, also requesting $8,000 and planning to raise additional funds through crowdfunding; a series of two moonrise piano concerts in 2027, with budget items including piano moving and chair and easel rentals; ADA-focused replacement entry tile at Beaver Street Theater, with installation proposed by local firm Flagstaff Stone and Tile; and public art and student-participation projects at Mountain School. The transcript does not provide an overall grant total or all individual award amounts. Staff said the mural would be checked with Code Enforcement to confirm it would not be treated as signage. Culture Connection’s presentation was postponed to the December meeting because its representative was absent. No contract award or separate purchasing decision was identified.
