SO WE ARE ASKING THAT ARTISTS SUBMIT PROPOSALS THAT HAVE A TRAIL OR THAT HAVE A TRAIN RAILROAD THEME AND THAT IT PROMINENTLY DISPLAYS THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. WE’VE ALREADY HAD A HANDFUL OF PROPOSALS, AND THEY ARE INCREDIBLE. SO WE’RE REALLY EXCITED TO SEE THIS VIBRANT ADDITION TO ADDED TO JOHNSON POOL.

YEAH, WE WE LIKE TO KEEP OUR CALL TO ARTISTS PRETTY OPEN BECAUSE WE WE WANT TO CREATE THAT FLEXIBILITY WITH THE ARTISTS TO CREATE ESSENTIALLY WHATEVER THEY’D LIKE. AND THEN ONCE THEY ESSENTIALLY SUBMIT THE PROPOSALS, WE TAKE THEM TO THE SELECTION COMMITTEE AND THEN WE CHOOSE OUR ARTISTS, AND THEN THE MAGIC HAPPENS. WE WE DON’T REALLY PUT A LOT OF PARAMETERS FOR THIS ONE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE UNION PACIFIC GENEROUSLY DONATED IN THE SPONSORSHIP. WE DO ASK THAT THEIR LOGO IS IS SHOWN. THEY JOHNSON POOL IS CURRENTLY BEING RENOVATED AND THE POOL IS NOW GOING TO BE A A TRAIN THEME. SO IT KIND OF ALL WORKS IN ONE BIG PICTURE. SO OUR MURAL IS REALLY JUST GOING TO BE A VIBRANT ADDITION TO THE INCREDIBLE RENOVATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING THERE. YEAH, I LOVE THAT. OKAY, SO INTERESTED ARTISTS. WHAT STEPS DO THEY NEED TO TAKE TO EVEN BE CONSIDERED FOR DOING THE ARTWORK? YEAH. SO THEY CAN EITHER SEND ME A HARD COPY OF THEIR PROPOSAL, WHICH YOU CAN BRING TO THE MIGHTY MUSEUM AND HISTORIC SITE IN ROSEVILLE. OR YOU CAN SEND IT TO ME VIA EMAIL, WHICH MOST OF OUR ARTISTS DO. WHICH I CAN, I THINK YOU GUYS HAVE, BUT IT’S A DECENT GO AT ROSEVILLE, CA, US. THE CALL TO ARTISTS FOR THIS ONE SPECIFICALLY ENDS IN APRIL. WE CURRENTLY HAVE ANOTHER CALL TO ARTIST FOR THE PLACER VALLEY SOCCER COMPLEX, WHICH IS IN WEST ROSEVILLE, WHICH IS A 51 ACRE FACILITY. AND THIS PIECE IS MORE OF AN ART INSTALLATION, AND IT’S GOING TO BE FEATURED IN OUR NORTH PLAZA. AND THE MINDSET BEHIND THAT REALLY IS IT’S GOING TO BE A PHOTO FRIENDLY LANDMARK FOR THE COMMUNITY. AND THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND FOR THAT CALL TO ARTIST IS IT’S NOT THAT FACILITY IS NOT JUST GOING TO BE FOR SOCCER. IT IS CALLED THE PLACER VALLEY SOCCER COMPLEX.
