The Emigrant Trail

The City of Temecula will have a Dedication Ceremony for the new Civic Center on December 9th at 4:00 PM.
Address: 41000 main Street Old Town Temecula.


The new $73 million Civic Center includes a 95,000-square-foot Spanish Colonial-style City Hall, a three-story parking garage and a town square.
I'm very thankful to be awarded to do "The Emigrant Trail" mosaic mural and to be part of this project. The mural will be finally revealed. It took one year to finish. I learned a lot about the history of Temecula and the significance of the Emigrant Trail in the City's growth from 1847 to 1858.
You are welcome to join us at the Dedication Ceremony on December 9th: Ceremony, Tours, Refreshments. For more information, please call the city: 951-694-6481
If you can't make it on the 9th, on Saturday Dec 11th, they will have their Public Open House. You will also be able to see a mural done by Marlo Bartels and a mosaic fountain by artist Christopher Pardell. Beautiful works!
I'm very proud about this Public Art project and I hope to see you there.

Congratulations!

Janet Adams has just received (by mail) the Juror's Award for her piece HEDWIG in the exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - a complete surprise since she could not attend the opening!
The title of the exhibit is Animal Narratives, featuring visual ideas about animals in literature. Janet's piece was the white owl in the Harry Potter series.

ART4KIDS Benefit

The benefit for ART4KIDS - our SCA charity for 2010 - will be held during our SCA exhibit opening this Saturday, Nov. 13th, in Pomona. For any donation, participants will make a beaded mountain sage project which can be hung indoors or in a garden, or given to a friend.

Ages 4 to adults have enjoyed making this aromatic project! Please plan on joining in to help ART4KIDS give the gift of art materials to as many children as possible. SCA member Pam Schader founded this amazing organization nine years ago. THANK YOU!
Best, Janet Adams
