 "Wheely, Whirly Peacock" by Patricia Vader | If you go to the Library in Orinda, you cannot help but appreciate some art form, if not many. The City of Orinda has adopted a policy to have the "Art In Public Places" Committee submit ideas for street art that can be rotated annually to be shared in public places around the Community. Fortunately, the Peacock is on permanent loan to the City. So, that will not be rotated. a followup article will focus on the art located at the Orinda Community Center. Vader had also created another statue called "Butterfly Gate." I am personally endorsing for the City to install that permanently in the Theater Square side of town possibly near the light where the ramp pours traffic off of Highway 242. It is the intention of the Art In Public Places Committee to promote art by: sponsoring loaned artwork and rotating it through public places. Their mission statement also states to promote art through artists conducting Educational Workshops as well as their opening up their personal studios to show how the art is actually created. Other newer art installations on that side of town are shown below and entitled: "Open-Ended", "Sardine Seat" and "Beholding." |
