Camas city leaders are trying to find the best way to encourage public expressions of art after two incidents — one that erased several Black Lives Matter chalk drawings near the Camas Public Library and another involving an unsanctioned BLM sign at Crown Park — caught the public’s attention this summer.
At their Aug. 3 workshop, Camas City Council members discussed public art, graffiti removal and the possibility of forming a public arts committee to help develop a policy for establishing public art projects in the city’s public spaces.
