The Public Corporation for the Arts has appointed seven people to membership on the newly formed Advisory Committee for Public Art, a group charged with allocating the hundreds of thousands of dollars expected to be generated by the city's Percent for Public Art program enacted last year.

The new committee members include Calvin Andrews, president of the Great Southwest Corp.; H. Terry Braunstein, a local visual artist; Lucy Daggett, a member of the Long Beach Opera board, and Constance Glenn, director of the University Art Museum at Cal State Long Beach. Joining them will be George M. Murchison, immediate past president of the Long Beach Symphony Assn.; Harold Nelson, director of the Long Beach Museum of Art, and Donald Westerland, chairman of the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency.

Enacted largely at the Public Corporation for the Arts' behest, the new program requires downtown developers to set aside 1% of their construction budgets for art. About 20% of the money, PCA officials say, will go directly to their own organization, which has a contract with the city to promote the arts in Long Beach. The rest of the money will be earmarked for public art projects approved by the new committee.
