The Lafayette City Council approved plans to move a middle school student's anti-racism artwork to a more permanent location.
As reported in the Aug. 5 issue of this paper, Adam Dolberg's message of inclusivity created with painted rocks alongside the Lafayette-Moraga Trail has been repeatedly vandalized. The relocation of the art, to a site near the Community Center, approved together with input from the Public Art Committee, is in recognition of the young mans' dedication.
Adam agreed to a simple, extendable, two-year contract for monitoring, and maintenance of the rock garden.
Thanking Adam for his patience with the city's processes in getting the relocation approved, Mayor Mike Anderson commented, "You are a recognized artist - it is a great concept and we want it done correctly." |
