KING CORRIDOR Beautification Project
The
Project:
To develop a "Street School of Art," a project of the
Bronze Triangle Redevelopment Program coordinated by artivist
Mario Torero.
Scope:
We have adopted a section of Imperial Avenue, between 25th and
32nd streets, to create an arts corridor. The plan involves selecting
ten sites along Imperial Avenue for various installations of artworks.
Area merchants and residents will participate in the creation
of each art piece under the direction of, and along with, selected
artists.
Art:
The art will consist of murals and possibly multimedia designs
incorporating landscapes, signage, mosaics and "found object"
sculptures. The finished product should be permanent; however,
some temporary proposals may be considered.
Design:
Each design will be presented to the merchants and residents within
the immediate area of the designated site for input and approval
prior to execution.
Funding:
Funding is provided by the Bronze Triangle Corporation redevelopment
program through special grants and donations.
Budget:
We hope to fund ten sites for the initial pilot project.
