Re: Moscow Pool & public art
Linda,
I am unable to attend tonight's Council meeting. However, I hope
you are able to accept e-mail comments and have them entered
into the record.
I strongly support the concept of integrating "public art" into the
design of the pool facility and/or grounds. In my opinion this
could be either (i) art by local artists or (ii) art by non-local
artists that celebrates this locale and its heritage. Artwork for
particular sites could be selected through a design
competition.
More generally, I would like to see public art incorporated as a
design element in Moscow's parks, pathways and other public
spaces. This seems fitting with the concept of Moscow as the "Heart
of the Arts," and would serve to keep our community beautiful as it
grows and develops.
