Public art committee asks residents to give input; coasters and new fire hydrant art highlighted

A council member on Sept. 26 urged residents to provide input on Smyrna's public art program, highlighting a promotional coaster with a QR code and a recently installed painted fire hydrant at City Hall.
The council member said the public art committee wants community feedback as the city expands its public-art program. She asked residents to take the coaster when visiting local restaurants and scan the QR code to participate. The speaker also noted that the newest fire hydrant artwork is installed at City Hall and that more painted hydrants and surprises will appear in the coming months.
The remarks were informational and aimed at increasing public participation in the city's public-art planning process; no formal council action or funding request was made at the Sept. 26 meeting.
Next steps: Residents are encouraged to scan the QR code on distributed coasters and watch for new installations around the city.
