Resident seeks mural permit; PACE outlines summer kids program and asks for commission partnership
Loading...
Summary
A Cathedral City resident asked the commission about painting a mural of Agnes Pelton on Miller Lane and was told to submit a visual and budget; Ashley McCollum (on behalf of PACE) described a pilot summer 'Paint with PACE' series at the library for kids and requested partnership next fiscal year.
During public comments, a resident seeking to paint a mural on Miller Lane described plans to depict artist Agnes Pelton and asked which grant or process to use. Staff told the resident to prepare a visual, a budget and to email city staff; staff clarified that the currently open grant window is targeted toward performance projects rather than painted pieces.
Brian Favorite (introduced by staff as the requested speaker) said he lives in The Cove and wants to paint about 12 feet of cinder‑block wall with an Agnes Pelton motif. Staff advised him to prepare a tangible design and a budget figure so the commission can place the item on a future agenda, and provided a staff contact email (ambrose@cathedralcity.gov) for next steps.
Ashley McCollum, speaking on behalf of PACE, described a planned pilot series of free arts classes at the library for children ages roughly 6–14, led by Desert Recreation District instructors with materials provided by PACE. She said the pilot will run once per month in June, July and August and that PACE hopes to partner with the Public Arts Commission next fiscal year to support instructors and expand locations.
Next steps: the mural proponent will email staff with design and budget details; PACE will pursue a commission partnership next fiscal year and a subcommittee will be assigned to coordinate.
