The City of Asheville and a seven-member jury team are launching a new online survey to gather information to be used to make the final design proposal selection for the Lexington Avenue Public Art Project.
The Lexington Avenue Public Art Project is intended to reflect the neighborhood identity of Lexington Avenue and to celebrate the community’s century-old storefronts and architectural treasures.
The Asheville Downtown Association Foundation raised $40,000 to the City for this project. In October 2016, Asheville City Council authorized the City Manager to accept the donation for this public art project. “This project is a great way to honor the initiative and drive of so many individuals in our community, including John Lantzius, that got together and saved this part of Downtown. Lexington Avenue would not be what it is today without the efforts of our citizens,” said Adrian Vassallo, Chair of the Asheville Downtown Association Foundation.
The survey on Open City Hall Asheville is one aspect of the voting on the final design proposal for this project. It will probably take you 10-15 minutes to complete.
