Clark County, Woodland and La Center are accepting applications to fill four positions on the Clark County Arts Commission.
The county seeks an applicant to fill the position for a member of the business community, and another applicant who lives in unincorporated Clark County. Both La Center and Woodland are searching for a person to fill the seats representing their respective jurisdictions, stated a news release.
All of the terms will begin immediately and will consist of a four year term. The commission typically meets at 5:30 p.m. on the first Tuesday of the month on the sixth floor of the Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin St., Vancouver, but the meetings are currently held in a virtual format because of the pandemic.

“Each participating city appoints one member, and the county manager appoints three members representing the arts, arts education and business communities,” stated the release.
