The CRA continues to coordinate with organizations to encourage volunteer beautification projects throughout the Community Redevelopment Area. The Creek District is proposing to install tile mosaic artwork in the public right-of-way, on the sidewalk throughout The Creek District of Arts & Entertainment.
The project will provide an opportunity to create a unique experience as residents and visitors stroll the streets of Arts & Entertainment District, engage citizens, increase foot traffic, create an urban environment, increase appreciation for the mosaic art and artist, and overall attractiveness of the City’s public right-of-way.
This project has been a priority of Commissioner Matheson and encourages to fix the broken mosaic artwork in the new Triangle District. The artists and volunteers have agreed to fix the mosaic artwork in the Triangle District following the completion of mosaic project in the Creek District.
The Creek District is requesting CRA funds to assist with the implementation of the project including marketing of contest for artwork, workshop, artist award, materials and unveiling event to celebrate artwork. The City will be responsible for maintaining the community-based project in the public right-of-way.
Details about the mosaic project, locations, proposed mosaic artwork, artists contest for future mosaic artwork and schedule will be presented at the meeting.
Further coordination between the Creek District/artists, CRA and Public Works Department will be required for logistic planning and facilitate the installation of the mosaic artwork.
