Commissioners will make recommendations to the Malibu City Council on cultural arts policy, the use of city parks for arts-related events, purchases of art by the city, outreach to Malibu artists and other tasks, according to Joyce Parker-Bozylinski, the city's planning director.

Applicants must be a resident of Malibu within the 90265 zip code. The council has the ability to appoint one ex-officio member who lives outside the city limits, but they will not have a vote, according to Parker-Bozylinski.

Application forms are on the City's website at www.malibucity.org (on the City Clerk page) or by emailing Lisa Pope, City Clerk, at lpope@malibucity.org. Following an interview process, the applications will be presented to the City Council for consideration at a regular City Council meeting.
