Stillwater’s burgeoning public art scene has received a significant boost, thanks to a generous $100,000 donation from convenience store chain OnCue. This contribution lays the groundwork for the city’s newly established public art program, aiming to enrich the community’s cultural landscape.
During the February 9 city council meeting, Marla Ruark of OnCue presented a ceremonial check to the Stillwater Public Art Committee. The funds will support various initiatives, including the commissioning of local artists, installation of sculptures, and organization of community art events.
City officials expressed gratitude for OnCue’s commitment to fostering artistic expression in Stillwater. The donation not only provides financial support but also underscores the importance of public-private partnerships in enhancing community amenities.
Residents can look forward to a series of art installations and events in the coming months, as the Public Art Committee begins implementing projects funded by this generous donation. Community members are encouraged to participate in upcoming meetings to share ideas and feedback on potential art initiatives.
