Dear Cassandra and the City of Meridian,
Western Ada Recreation District would like to thank Sector Seventeen for providing the Meridian Community
Swimming Pool with a spectacular mural! The design highlights the aquatic opportunities that the Meridian
Community Swimming Pool has been providing to children for the past 49 years. The entire area has been
refreshed and brightened by the mural installation. The display can be viewed from parts of the Meridian
Speedway, baseball fields and Franklin Road. Western Ada Recreation District is proud to display this mural in
the City of Meridian for many to appreciate.
The pool will be opening for the 50th year this summer! The mural will be a great semicentennial showcase for
new and returning patrons alike. Please accept my sincere appreciation for the work that was done to bring this
project together.
Regards,
Shaun Wardle, Board President

Meridian Pool mural project
Mural maintenance plan:
This wall has been painted using professional quality exterior latex paint and
artist grade aerosols. It has been sealed with an Old Masters exterior water
based, satin finish clear coat. This treatment should hold up to the elements for at
least 5-10 years before touch ups may be made. If the mural is subject to dirt,
grime etc. the whole wall can be sprayed with light pressure annually or bi-
annually.

Meridian Pool mural project
Artist bio:
Sector Seventeen is an artist collective based in the Treasure Valley with a
focus on creating large-scale, site-specific murals. Collin Pfeifer and Hawk Sahlein
have been exploring the aerosol medium for over 15 years. Working in
collaboration with public, private, and corporate entities, they have built a robust
portfolio in a wide array of styles.
Artist statement:
"A Place to Shine" is a collaboration between Sector Seventeen, West Ada
Recreation District, and the Meridian Arts Commission. The imagery and color
palette aim to capture the energy of a fun day at the pool. Learning to swim gives
you a sense of confidence and autonomy, opening the door to more great
experiences with friends and family. The circular overlays are not only a key design
element, but also serve to represent various communities all gathering in one
place establishing common ground. We're grateful to have been given this
opportunity to display our work and add to the visual landscape of Meridian.
