| SacForArt (My "little" labor of love for the past 7 years) is now going to focus on artists and cultural events in the North Sacramento Arts District.
The editor is not above editorializing and posting arts events for artists in greater Sac if they include an artist who lives or has a studio here in North Sac. Nepotism is King. Its all about bragging about the culture making going on everyday here in North Sac. |

Blvd. Arts dedication July 14th 2007 May 8, 2006 APPROVE DEL PASO BOULEVARD ARTWORK
: A year ago, the Commission approved
the Arts Plan for Del Paso Blvd., and from the 22 applicants,
4 were chosen. Councilperson Sheedy found some funds for an additional
piece, so 4 artists will do 5 sites.
The first is Larry Meeks who is doing gateway projects, one with Sheedy funds and one with APP funds, one piece at El Camino and Del Paso Blvd. and the other piece at the freeway and Del Paso Blvd. His pieces are in the art deco style, with stainless steel, 12' high arches with raised letters and lighting that will make the pieces very dramatic.The next piece up the Boulevard will be Taylor Gutermute's 5 portals which will be located directly in front of the Subway Truck Parts building. The tallest piece is 13' tall, and the shortest is 7'. They are also in the art deco style, of powder coated steel and painted with powder coating. The panels depict the history of Del Paso Boulevard and the Del Paso area. Pieces will be viewed mainly by light rail and drivers coming onto Del Paso Boulevard. Panels will be lit, which may keep people from climbing and sticking their hands in. The panels were created with a lot of community input and outreach.Yoshio Taylor's clock tower will be at the crossroads of Del Paso and Arden. The bronze bust that is currently in that position will be relocated. The clock tower is 28' tall, has bricks at the base in an art deco design, with bas relief in the bricks reflecting the history of Del Paso Blvd. Most of the tower is metal, with some bronze. The 4-sided clock face will be lighted at night. Safety is a big issue with the current design, so the artist will reconfigure the brick base to be less accessible to climbers. SHRA will provide funds for maintenance for a number of years. The clock is designed to run for 2-3 days on its own in case of power loss.Numan Huseinbegovic has designed 6 sculptures for the median along Del Paso Blvd., reflecting past, present and future, and the diversity of the community. The pieces were all designed to be aesthetically pleasant, with a sense of place, referring to Del Paso history, and in the art deco style. There is a repeating theme to the 6 pieces, which the Commissioners noticed.
There is a plan to include artist statements
on plaques on sidewalks or the sides of buildings, so pedestrians
won't have to cross into median areas to see the name of a piece
or what the artist was trying to convey. A walking tour was discussed,
a brochure, possibly historical markers.
