SEYMOUR, Ind. – In an effort to encourage community pride and support the arts, Seymour City Hall is seeking artwork to display in a rotating exhibit in the newly renovated city hall building.
Entries can include photography, drawings, paintings, sculpture, and mixed media. Submissions, excluding sculptures, must be framed. Pieces to be displayed will be chosen by the mayor and city hall staff.
Jane Hays, the administrative assistant to the mayor, is spearheading the project. “The mayor and I had talked about a rotating art exhibit at city hall near the beginning of his term,” Hays said.
City Hall is scheduled to reopen in mid-October. Renovations include a new HVAC, new flooring, lighting, and ceilings, along with freshly painted walls in a bright color palette. Several new spaces including offices and a second large conference room have also been added.
“We are excited about the changes to city hall, so we thought this was the perfect time to showcase some great artwork by talented people,” Hays said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what the community has to offer.”
