Renovation of a municipal facility in Santa Monica, California. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

This project will fund the recontextualization of the City Hall murals through community engagement, companion works, and a supportive lobby experience that will make City Hall welcoming for all who enter. For this project, staff will engage our diverse population by engaging the public in a dialogue about the messages conveyed by the historic murals regarding our social, political, and racial history. The project will then create other companion works that will provide balance to the message through an array of voices and perspectives through a series of community conversations, art activations, and other engagement measures, with the ultimate deliverable being permanent or temporary art installation(s) that provide a counterbalance to the existing City Hall murals by more accurately depicting our history and our community. The requested CIP funds are supplemented by $70,000 in Percent for Art funds that have been approved by the Arts Commission for this public art commission and $50,000 that was budgeted in FY 2021- 22 for the lobby mural project. Project is included in the City of Santa Monica's FY 2022-2027 CIP. As of September 22, 2022, information regarding a design team and a general contractor is not available. Funding is anticipated in 2023/2024.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
