Commission hears Colton Hall exhibit plans and inspects damaged conference-center tile mural
Summary
Staff proposed Colton Hall exhibits for 2026 — including police and fire archives and a youth arts rotation — and reported NCIP funding recommendations for building repairs; commissioners also reviewed a public tile mural whose lower tiles have fallen and which ARG will inspect for conservation.
The Museums and Cultural Arts Commission on Feb. 5 discussed a slate of proposed Colton Hall exhibits for 2026 and received updates on capital project rankings and a damaged public mural.
Brian, museum staff, said the commission had hosted a series of successful exhibits in recent years — "we worked with Monterey County historical society on the Hathaway exhibit and we did an exhibit of photos there" — and proposed new displays that would bring archival material from the Monterey Fire Department and Monterey Police Department into Colton Hall to attract visitors. He said staff would develop a calendar and could either return a formal proposal to the full commission or work with a single assigned commissioner to refine plans.
