Vault painting has begun with artist, Vanessa Stafford.
The vault is just east of the pedestrian bridge in Jeffrey Fontana Park
Below is a note from Michael Ogilvie, the City of San José Director of Public Art:
“Dear Review Panel,
Good news! I just heard word that the bulk of construction work on the interior of the vaults by the water district’s contractor has been completed. They have given us a notice to proceed with painting starting this Saturday, 8/25. Our conservator is scheduled to pressure wash and clean the vaults on August 23 and 24th.
All work by the artists must be scheduled with the water district and I am working to coordinate the artist’s schedules and align those with servicing needs of the district.
The deadline to complete this project was moved to November 30. So, the artists have three months to complete the work.
If you see an artist painting in your park, feel free to say hi!”
Thanks and talk soon,
Michael Ogilvie
City of San José
Director of Public Art
