AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Artwork Design for Mural on the Downtown Parking Garage
Commemorating the Centennial of the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution
MEETING DATE: March 3, 2021
PREPARED BY: Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Interim Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving artwork design for mural on the downtown
parking garage commemorating the centennial of the 19th Amendment to
the US Constitution.
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.
