The search for artists comes from Walsh’s Office of Arts and Culture in collaboration with the Boston Art Commission. The art will be located outside of the building or on its grounds. Officials are looking for a design that will enrich the connection between the Boston Fire Department and the surrounding Roxbury and Egleston communities.

The commission decided to create the subcommittee in June and has been waiting to appoint a member to represent the city of Janesville before convening.  

The subcommittee will spend its first meeting reviewing the history of the Milton Fire Department and identifying goals, according to the agenda.

 

The Janesville and Milton fire departments began sharing services in February 2016. An intergovernmental agreement between the cities expanded shared services in early 2017.
