Parks & Arts Commission details public‑art, murals and community projects
Summary
Parks & Arts Commission reviewed a slate of public‑art and park projects including a town‑square goat sculpture, Pavilion Park ticket‑booth art, rental of artist agreements for murals, the Rocky Hill basketball mural (artist contract ~$12,000), and donor projects; staff sought two council volunteers for a city hall art selection committee.
Nancy, representing the Parks & Arts Commission, updated the council on multiple art and park projects planned or in progress across the city.
Highlights included a town square goat sculpture targeted for fall installation, a Pavilion Park ticket booth artist agreement forthcoming, and an Orchard Park restroom mural with artist agreement to be presented soon. Nancy said Spokane Valley Tech students developed a prototype for a baseball‑field story walk that will proceed as a school project. The commission noted donated projects managed with the Liberty Lake Better Together Foundation and detailed completed items such as signal box wraps and landscape work around a recent sculpture with solar lighting.
Nancy asked for two council volunteers to serve on a city‑hall art selection committee; several council members volunteered and staff said they will coordinate the selection committee and timeline with the art consultant.
Council thanked the commission for the update and for partnership with local schools and nonprofits.
