BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2020, Americans celebrated the centennial of the extension of the right to vote for women. When Congress passed the 19th Amendment in 1919, and 36 states ratified it by August 1920, women's right to vote was en- shrined in the US Constitution. One hundred years later, there are local, state, and national centennial celebrations being planned and executed throughout the land. Lodi is one of the communities celebrating the centennial. On June 3, 2020, Council approved the mural project and authorized funding. Council requested to see the final art design prior to the mural being painted. The Lodi Arts Commission and Lodi Art Foundation conducted A Call to Artists. One submission was received from a Lodi area adult artist for the mural design. The mural will be installed on the wall between the World of Wonders Science Museum and the parking garage at 2 North Sacramento Street. The mural will commemorate the centennial of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution. In conjunction with the mural project, the Lodi Arts Commission will be identifying sites throughout Lodi that have historic significance to women. They will create a walking trail and provide an easily accessible narrative (QRC phone app and paper map) explaining the significance of each site. The Lodi Arts Commission and Lodi Arts Foundation will be seeking sponsorships and donations to fund the walking trail project.
