Public Art on Wheels for Port Moody!
2005
January 21st - Port Moody Media Release
PORT MOODY - The City
of Port Moody put another piece of art on the road
today. Port Moody artist Ross Agro designed and painted
the city's second public art truck, a service vehicle
for the playground crew playground service truck.
The "Playground
Truck" is sure to delight children and adults
as it services the different parks in the city. It
depicts a girl on a swing on the hood holding a paint
brush, a riot of colour exploding from the brush and
traveling along both sides of truck leads the eye
to the back tailgate of a placid scene in the park
with a boy and dad. Fish and birds can also be seen
among the colours.
The city's
first public art truck, painted last year by Port
Moody artist Judith M Atkinson, has created interest
in her work from other municipalities, as well as
an extremely positive response from staff and residents.
The art
trucks, as well as other pieces of public art, are
commissioned through the city's public art subcommittee.
Port Moody values art as an important part of community
life and is committed to a far reaching public art
program, including 1% of capital project infrastructure
towards new works of art.
