Name of Applicant: Amount Requested: Category: Score: <br />Diana Markessinis $5,000 Artist 82.0 — 1St <br />Description of Project: <br />The downtown area would benefit greatly from a sculptural element, a marker, a point of <br />reference, a place to meet and to create a wider variety of public art. With only a few <br />three-dimensional works in the downtown area, we are in need of a tall, attractive <br />sculpture to enhance our city as well as welcome visitors. I would create a piece specific <br />to a site chosen, some ideas are the corner of 4th & French St, the roundabout at Bush <br />st. & 3rd., the promenade by the Yost, and the entry to the city along Santa Ana Blvd. <br />One very interesting and powerful affect of public art is that it can shed new light or new <br />perspective within the area it is placed, I look forward to exploring various locations with <br />the arts commission. <br />Community Benefit: <br />Public art adds to our environment, relating to it on a human scale, and relating to the <br />architecture around it has the ability to enhance or draw attention to the general area or <br />even a specific building. This may create a new appreciation for the viewer and possibly <br />be an invitation to engage in dialog with other people how they feel about the sculpture <br />and the area around it. <br />25D-19 <br />
