Public Arts plans student mural panels and raising sculpture for visibility
Summary
Public Arts will work with High‑5 students to create mural panels (partly because the existing 'Butterfly' mural is delaminating), and will coordinate with the Palos Heights Fire Department to raise a sculpture on a pedestal to improve visibility when cars park in front of the building.
Lynda Schiappa told the committee that Public Arts hopes to collaborate with High‑5 students on a new mural painted on movable panels — a design choice intended to let students work indoors and avoid the priming/paint issues that caused the existing 'Butterfly' mural to delaminate (artist Victoria Lanz was cited).
Schappa (sic) — corrected in this draft to the transcript's proper name Lynda Schiappa — also reported work with the Palos Heights Fire Department (PHFD) to place the current sculpture on a pedestal to make it more visible when cars park in front of the building. Committee members agreed to pursue these options pending further coordination with schools and the PHFD.
