Hello Cassandra and the City of Meridian, As a library district we have been pleased to work with the City of Meridian, the city’s Arts Commission, and the mural artist in finding a work of art to be installed on the facade at our unBound branch. This addition of color and vibrancy are very welcomed to our city’s downtown core and will further help in activating the downtown experience. Many hours and months have been spent bringing this to fruition, we are very excited to see this project continue forward. The Meridian Library District would like to thank the artists for the willingness to work with us on finding a mural design that was as unique and inviting as the unBound branch that it will be painted onto later this year. It is with great pleasure that I’m able to officially send over this letter of approval from the Meridian Library District to move forward with mural design for the SW facing corner of the unBound Business and Technology Library located at 722 E. 2nd St. in Meridian. This design is truly amazing and again we want to say thank you thank you for your patience and hardwork! All the best, Nick Grove Assistant Director Meridian Library District 48 Item 7. 49Item 7. 2022 Traffic Box Art Selections REPOSITORY ARTWORK 50 Item 8.
