MARTIN-FONTANA PARKS ASSOCIATION Saving our Park Trees

Fontana West near Tot Lot

here’s the scoop:

Remember last June when we told you about this project?  Here’s the link:  https://martinfontanaparksassociation.blog/2017/06/15/you-can-help-turn-the-eyesores-in-our-parks-into-works-of-art/.  We met the Artists on Feb. 10th of this year at the Almaden Community Center.

MFPA President Rod Carpenter hands out pins to the Artists present at the community meeting.

And they are:

• Morgan Bricca (morganmurals.com)
• Daniel Aguilera Jimenez (http://www.oreeoriginol.com/biography.html)
• Jane Kim (http://inkdwell.com/)
• Andrew Kong Knight (http://andrewkongknight.com/)
• Vanessa Stafford (https://vanessastafford.wordpress.com/)
• Megan Stevens (http://www.meganstevens.com/)

Here’s the schedule:

May 19^th – Artist design proposals will be unveiled at Martin-Fontana Parks Association’s annual Heart of the Park VIII event held in Jeffrey Fontana Park.

June 5^th – The Public Art Committee will meet to review and approve the designs.

June 6^th to November 30^th – The Artists will be painting their designs on the vaults.

December – A dedication will be held.

Please note: None of this would have been possible without the support of

District 10 Councilmember Johnny Khamis and the City of San Jose’s Office of Cultural Affairs Public Art Program.
