Commissioners' Reports
Commissioner DeForest shared photos of pictographs in Baja.
Commissioner Carrillo reported she was attending Community Grant events during April
and May.
Commissioner Juncal reported he saw the New Village Arts Production of "Playboy of
the Western World" and showed his artworks at Jazzercise; ArtSplash is developing well;
and a TV production company is interested in street painting. Rock stacking is attracting
wide interest. Commissioner Juncal explained he is working on how to use it to spur
creativity and art awareness. He is also creating sand images.
Chair Hill reported Hidden Canyon Park was opening on April 29. He would like field
trips planned for the Commissioners to see the City's public artworks and if possible,
have the artist that created the works at the site for discussion. He would also like to
invite the public to attend these field trips. Mr. Hill proposed the Commission meet first,
adjourn its meeting at 10 and reconvene at the artwork site. He would also like photos
taken and provided to City Council to keep them aware of the artworks in the City.
Commissioners Iserloth and Juncal also favored this idea.
