S. Review and Discuss: 2024 Traffic Box Call to Artists
An evaluation panel will be held in late July. Cassandra posed the question of who
the commission should invite to be stakeholders for the evaluation panel. Reps
from local businesses/schools/community members that surround the traffic box
locations were considered.
6. Discuss: Public Art Project at the September 14, 2024 Community Art Party
B. Gaytan suggested an art project for the community art party (workshop, demo,
community project, etc.).
Commission members showed enthusiasm for the idea of a muralist team coming
to paint murals live on a cube structure for the community art party event at
Kleiner park. Something similar was done at this years Treefort Festival by local
muralists team Sector Seventeen.
Cassandra will look into the idea further and we will follow up on this in the next
