We've got a great
Public Art Commission
in Ithaca, and some city officials that are willing to accept some
creative ideas. Our new parking czar thought a way to make a parking
garage seem less dismal was to have some murals painted in it. My idea would be to get rid of the cars, but his line
of thought was pictures of NASCAR or classic cars. When the art
commission got on the project they went for whatever people wanted to
paint. There's quite a bit of science and personal history of the
artist in the top one, some kids in a local art program asked the big
question about climate change, flowers melted onto the floor, and an old
poem by an African-American girl got illustrated.
