The presentations begin at 1 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10, in Conference Room 2007-A at City Hall, 700 N. Main St. The public is welcome to attend presentations.
Artists were tasked with designing a concept proposal for a site-specific outdoor art piece to beautify the 10-acre park located off Sonoma Springs Avenue. The park features amenities like a children’s playground, open lawn space and basketball courts against a beautiful view of the Organ Mountains.
Finalists were selected by the art selection committee from a pool of 154 submissions to the EMPRC call for artists. Each presentation is allocated 30 minutes per artist:
- 1 p.m. Artist 1
- 1:45 p.m. Artist 2
- 2:30 p.m. Artist 3
- 3:15 p.m. Artist 4
- 4 p.m. Artist 5 (tentative)
The selected design will be presented to the City Art Board at their next public meeting and to City Council, for final approval, at a future public meeting.
