| Hard hatted Haru! Down the street from my old stomping ground CalArts! @ Fire Station 132 under construction. The super tall folding "French" windows were amazing.....Thanks to Christine Nguyen for taking my hard hat photo!! |
Did you know that if you walk into any Fire Station and ask for a tour, they will gladly give you one! Apparently since Fire Stations are publicly funded, they are more than happy to show inquiring minds around. Yay! Well on Monday I got to check out 2 Fire Stations in Santa Clarita that are currently under construction. I was there with the LA County Arts Commission and 2 other artists...Together, we are all in the running to becoming Santa Clarita's next Fire Station public artist! My final interview is today! The challenge? How to convince Fire Fighters with a 2 dimensional project that they feel justifies spending public funds on vs. upgrading equipment etc. The best project?! --> Fire Fighter Rich Hall described an amazing fire pit that an artist designed that Fire Fighters could sit and relax around after a loooong day. Wow! I get happy and soothed just thinking about that project!!
Fingers crossed xxxxxxx
