- 2 City Councilors
- 3 Members of the Public (Lebanon residency preferred, but not required)
- 2 Local Arts Representatives (Lebanon residency not required)

Member objectives, goals, and outcomes of the Task Force include:

- Exploring the purpose, development, and implementation of an Arts and Cultural District in Lebanon and submitting a recommendation to the City Council; and
- Defining and exploring the intersection of the Art, Public Art, Economic Development, and Government in the City
If you are interested in serving as a member of the Arts & Culture Task Force, please submit your application by Friday, April 13, 2018. You will be asked:
- Why you are interested in serving on the Task Force;

Decisions on membership will be announced by Mayor Prentiss at the April 18, 2018 City Council meeting. The initial kickoff for the Task Force is planned for the week of May 14, 2018. The Task Force is expected to complete its work within six months.
Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you.
