Future Commissioners

City of Redmond residents with an interest in the arts are invited to apply for an opening on the City's Arts Commission. 

The nine-member Arts Commission works to achieve excellence in arts programming for the people of Redmond; nurture and support artists, arts organizations and arts education; and promote active participation and attendance of arts events. The Commission also makes recommendations to the Mayor and City Council regarding arts-related acquisitions, programs, projects, and community events.  Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month, and commissioners are appointed to three-year terms. 

Interested residents can pick up a community service application in the Mayor's office on the fourth floor of Redmond City Hall, or download a copy. Applicants should mail the completed form, along with a summary of background and volunteer experience to the Office of the Mayor, City of Redmond, P.O. Box 97010, Redmond, WA 98073-9710. The application deadline is ongoing or promoted through the local newspapers. Applications are kept on file for one year for consideration. For more information, call 425-556-2300.
