BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Art Advisory Board seeks to use Art in Public Places funds to support a mosaic mural project at Heritage School. This mosaic will be produced by fifth -grade "Earth Keepers Club" under the direction of the Public Works Department's Watershed Coordinator. The students were able to spend the 2012-13 school year on several Mokelumne River Watershed study field trips. Their fifth grade science curriculum highlighted the study of watersheds, waste water treatment and water cycle in general. This mosaic project would be the "Earth Keeper's" legacy project. Central to Lodi's eastside is Heritage School. It has become a hub for many activities beyond the school day. A health clinic, English language classes and an after school childcare program operate on the campus after hours. The mural will be placed on a wall facing the street so all who pass by can enjoy it. FISCAL IMPACT: FUNDING AVAILABLE: JH/dkb Attachments $1,750 from the developer -funded Art in Public Places fund. $175,724 as of January 31, 2013; Art in Public Places Account No. 1214 4Jor Ayers, Deputy Ci y tanager APPROVED: Jeff H Park ecreation nd Cultural Services Director radt Bartlam, City Deanne Br1dewell From: Kathy Grant [kathygrant@sbcglobal.net) Sent: Monday, January 14, 20,13 3:55 Pili To: Deanie Bridewell; Cathy Metcalf Subject., APP- January 2013- Agenda request Hi Deanie and Cathy, I would like to join the AiPP committee at their January meeting to begin the conversation again regarding their support for a second ceramic mural at Heritage School. I am planning to complete the project in April or May 2013. 1 am hoping this second Watershed Mural at Heritage School will be the year end finale for the Stn grade class that has been working on a yearlong study of the Mokelumne River Watershed. The first mural was completed in October 2012 by last year's 6th grade class. Thanks to grant funding from the Lower Mokelumne Partnership, this year's 5th graders were able to go to the SF Bay in November, visit the Mokelumne River Fish Hatchery in December, and are planning one more trip to the two Lodi water treatment plants. Our hope is that they become active environmental stewards in their community through this work. Starbucks is also a partner in this effort, and I plan to meet with the new regional community work coordinator tomorrow, to discuss their future involvement in the program. Under the former coordinator, Tom Allen, local Starbucks employees acted as team leaders at the Lodi lake Coastal Cleanup in September, 2012. 1 would expect them to join our future fieldtrips and add their help to the mural. I look forward to working with your group as we build bridges and work together to create art in public places on the eastside, for the good of the community.
