Kelly Orta, deputy community services, told the commission that the city contracted with Lebas Projects (LBP) and that phase 1 funding totals $450,000, of which $45,000 pays LBP for contract services and roughly $405,000 has been set aside for artists, materials and installation. “By the end of this calendar year, so December 31, we are on target to have this plan adopted by the city council,” Orta said.

The plan is organized in phases. Phase 1 includes a SWOT analysis, stakeholder outreach and a community survey, artist selection and installation of at least three artworks drawn from the comprehensive plan. Orta said the community survey remains open through October 10 and the project team will hold a city-hosted meeting next Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the North Branch Library. She described a later 2026 community panel that will help screen artist submissions and recommend finalists to the commission.

Public commenters told commissioners they support murals and other installations but urged the city to coordinate with nearby neighborhoods and private property owners. Rick McCollin, a Manhattan Beach resident who said he is developing a corridor “CRT” mapping app, urged using existing fixtures and gateways to create a stronger entry to Artesia and to avoid designs that unduly disturb nearby homes. Georgia Gantner (District 2) said she and another volunteer identified about 40 private-wall locations for potential murals during local canvassing. Jim Mueller (District 5) said the ACAP program includes funds that could pay for privately sited murals if the program moves forward.

Joan Irvine, representing Keep the Esplanade Beautiful, described the group’s outreach and fundraising work and said the group is preparing a musical video and fundraiser ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics; she asked to be involved as the plan moves into implementation.

After discussion the commission moved, seconded and approved a motion to receive and file the Artesia project update; the administrative report will inform the draft plan the commission will review in November before it goes to the city council for final adoption.

Details commissioners requested staff to track include the project’s outreach schedule, the exact budget split between consultant fees and installation costs, and a timeline and membership plan for the community panel that will recommend artists.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Redondo Beach CULTURAL ARTS COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 24, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Staff presented the Artesia public-art master plan and timeline; commissioners voted to receive and file the update and were urged by residents and local groups to prioritize neighborhood input and coordination with private mural efforts.","taxTitle","Redondo Beach City, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",4669,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6457991,"Commission forms Esplanade public-art subcommittee; community group offers help ahead of LA 2028",480,4020000,4500000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824404-a1b138e84ea8f486aaed22d547f3d62b&start=4020&end=4500","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824404-a1b138e84ea8f486aaed22d547f3d62b/thumbnail_4020000.jpg","/articles/6457991/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Commission-forms-Esplanade-public-art-subcommittee-community-group-offers-help-ahead-of-LA-2028","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6457991-3f3a2004fcc484cc06e9b4cea280192d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170896&Signature=bKYxjR3DGYBcV-j125Q-3aER7z97NeN2rTwi80FpQi6pPPRx5G56xXRhO1iMB3TQ9Sd~0mQeK7zcNu95kNk4yA8Qjjem74jThTS2rbuwUSg-MxJGk~hCXWGuDdoOcyOrpi01wFhR0vn5Nc536Fa9c3c6m4EbXRYp7LTWAM0iLw0CUG7BMJYJCwqwioKoErWSDkE9tMbL9R7jKkYLSUpJ3fj2orWfDCHsNJ9hBzDpbAquuHOa7HN9FRaq3t5Z97kDzYpCeleGT1BhnGv2pbbWqDfDMDAmpbMJUVJWLmQyOR~j9d6leZg1wX0Bc02v4OsYgNHrEOrnkU3XqUMB4wqtgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioners voted to form a subcommittee to identify and promote public-art options on the Esplanade and assigned initial membership so the group can act quickly.

The commission approved a motion to create a subcommittee of up to three members to begin work immediately rather than wait for the next full meeting cycle. Commissioners selected Commissioner Tanner and Chair Christian Kelly as initial members and said a third member could be added later. Staff clarified that the subcommittee’s recommendations would be made to the commission and that the John Parsons Public Art Fund can provide up to $100,000 for Esplanade work in this phase; additional council funding would require separate action.

Joan Irvine, representing Keep the Esplanade Beautiful, urged the commission to include community-group representatives and suggested the group could help with public education, fundraising and programming ahead of the 2028 Olympics. “We would love to see it ready by ’27 so it’s ready for LA 28,” Irvine told commissioners, and offered the group’s volunteer support and marketing contacts.

Commissioners also discussed the role of corporate or philanthropic sponsorships as a possible supplement to the public art fund and asked staff to explore reporting formats that make monthly changes to the John Parsons Public Art Fund easier to track.

The motion to form the Esplanade subcommittee carried; staff will return names and an initial work plan to the commission and will provide copies of the subcommittee’s recommendations for future commission action.","The Cultural Arts Commission voted to form a three-member subcommittee to identify and promote public art on the Esplanade, authorized staff to use up to $100,000 from the John Parsons Public Art Fund for that effort, and heard a public comment from Keep the Esplanade Beautiful volunteer leaders.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6457996,"Commission selects utility box B for District 1 public-art wrap",336,3534000,3870000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5824404-a1b138e84ea8f486aaed22d547f3d62b&start=3534&end=3870","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5824404-a1b138e84ea8f486aaed22d547f3d62b/thumbnail_3534000.jpg","/articles/6457996/Redondo-Beach-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Commission-selects-utility-box-B-for-District-1-public-art-wrap","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6457996-a0282f75b233b345ffa8c73b1890b598/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170896&Signature=BguQXb2iTnVYd~dQGyCG9ZRdxcvp1r~IBJvPWBb63qPP1W7wrUAuHWKJ35eSkcvg3lytA~0fd4sNHA9wkwhP1JsjPNKBNzm-GUbkuYy-xJEgFubIYzCTbsDyDU~wD7UEgmkrtdqg1B82diAM8XHvsXt0QmCVi05S83WP4fn2m1kGRNpWxFkB~6urbJ93d8DlyGSGscL96nP9YTYuafAqQ2Tm0qAGGh9Zmpt5HCvj1vsrrQAJ6OSYjN9s0ws3lzdQW6n4yZHT9RxT4xcXyuqoV7wsh4E07-QHQEsQ5LIIvBelGGp-hqMR9dGIyHq4tVHNkv86Vb20N8BMAIVqaT74wA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Cultural Arts Commission selected an alternate utility box in District 1 for a planned public-art wrap after staff found the originally assigned box had already been wrapped.

Jack, a city staff member, told commissioners that one of the five utility boxes previously assigned for district wraps was already wrapped in a koi design in 2021 and therefore unavailable. He presented three alternate District 1 locations for the commission to choose from and described visibility and preparation needs for each.

Commissioners discussed the three candidate sites and favored option B for its visibility and condition. The commission moved and approved a motion to assign the remaining artwork — a bicycling-themed wrap by Jean Viazs — to Box B.

The staff direction was to proceed with placement of the Jean Viazs wrap on the selected box and to bring the administrative request to City Council for final approval of the relocation and installation. Commissioners noted that additional prep work may be required depending on the box condition.","After staff reported one originally selected box was already wrapped, commissioners selected an alternate utility box (option B) in District 1 and agreed to move the bicycling-themed artwork by Jean Viazs to that location.","actionData","errors"]
