Title
Public Art Review Committee (PARC) Recommendation for Library Oasis Mural.
Body
Action Requested:
Accept the recommendation of the Public Art Review Committee (PARC).
Summary Report:
On January 25th the Public Art Review Committee met to discuss and provide input on Paula Rojas’s design for a mural. The committee recommended the design for ACC approval with the understanding the artist would do her best to incorporate feedback. The artist did make some subtle changes to the design based on the committee’s input that worked well. The artist plans to begin work this week with the intention of finishing the interior portion before the ribbon cutting on February 29th.
