COUNCIL PUBLIC INFORMATION NEWS ADVISORY
IMMEDIATE RELEASE TO BE FORWARDED AND SHARED
Monday, April 2, 2012
An additional statement by
The Honorable Charles R. Samuels, Councilman, Richmond City Council, North Central 2nd District
Regarding the Art 180 displays on Monument Avenue
(Richmond, Virginia U.S.A.) - "I've had discussions with representatives from Art180 and Venture Richmond and it is my understanding that those two groups have worked together and we have resolution for the murals during Easter on Parade on Monument Avenue. It appears the murals may have to be temporarily moved but the parties are working together to ensure they are still visible.
I appreciate the calls and emails from citizens voicing their position on this matter. It is my belief that the City will honor its commitments and I am sure the Administration is working towards a decision on the issue of permits for this public art display."
CONTACT For more information, please contact Councilman Charles R. Samuels, at 804.646.6532; or by email, at charles.samuels@richmondgov.com.
