Twin Falls

Public Art Commission - Aug 4, 2026

The commission reviewed historic Bisbee photos from the library archive for a City Hall lobby display marking America's 250th anniversary — about 10 to 12 prints at roughly $150 total. A commissioner offered to donate printing, and staff will figure out whether the Historic Preservation Committee's existing authority lets the project move forward without a City Council vote.

Public Art Commission - Jun 2, 2026

A community art and artifact display tied to America's 250th won't be ready by July 4th. The commission will start with city employees' heirlooms, chase down borrowed display cases, and target August-October.

MeetingJun 1, 2026

Historic Preservation Committee - Jun 1, 2026

The commission is building a public participation program for the nation's 250th anniversary: an online trivia game, a photo 'strike a pose' challenge at historic sites, printed journals, and a community bingo game. Entries will go into a time capsule to be sealed around Labor Day and opened in 50 years. It's a chance for everyday residents to contribute memories and photos to the city's historical record.

Public Art Commission - Mar 3, 2026

Plans are forming for an art display marking America's 250th anniversary, with a call-to-artists to be finalized in April and a July display targeted. Local organizations may loan America-themed photographs for the show.
