Hopefully this new commission will have better tastes in art than the last ones.
Who can forget the wooden spiral 'unicorn' horn on California Avenue and the steel 'Jungle Jim' sculpture? Or those 'big people' from Sweden that used to sit over by the bowling lawns?
Outsiders have often mentioned at times that PA seemingly has no concept of art.

So what about amateurs who wish to work free of cost? I would love to paint on the drab utility boxes on Middlefield, for example - I have looked into city restrictions for temporary artwork, but who would I have to convince? And how long would it take? Sounds like a win-win to me...
