STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: SELECT AND RECOMMEND A MURAL CONCEPT FOR THE
EVENT SITE RESTROOM FACILITY
RECOMMENDATION
Select and recommend to Council a mural concept for the Event Site restroom
facility.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• Nate Frizzell was selected as the artist to paint a mural at the Event Site.
• The mural concepts were developed using community feedback and will
serve as a cultural asset.
• Nate Frizzell created 3 mural concepts.
• The addition of a mural at the Event Site was identified as a part of the
Community Services Commission (Commission) art opportunities
initiative, and artist Nate Frizzel is on the Commission approved pre-
qualified artist list.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total cost for the mural is $15,000 and funds are available in the Art in
Public Places Art Purchase budget (Account No. 270-0000-74800).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Nate Frizzell (Artist) was selected as the artist to develop a mural concept for
the restroom facility at the March 8, 2021 Community Services Commission
meeting.
As part of that process, Staff published a survey to capture community
feedback that the Artist would use when developing the mural concept. The
survey was open from February 15, 2021 through March 7, 2021, included six
questions, and 46 responses were captured. Staff organized the responses
and shared the feedback with the Artist (Attachment 1).
The Artist utilized the feedback to develop three mural concepts (attachment
2). Once the Commission identifies a preferred mural concept, the mural
concepts will be presented to Council.
BUSINESS SESSION ITEM NO. 1
The mural will cost $15,000 and funds are available in the Art in Public Places
Art Purchase budget (Account No. 270-0000-74800). If approved, the Artist
is scheduled to begin painting the mural in June and will take about a month
to complete.
ALTERNATIVES
The Commission may elect not to recommend any mural concepts and ask the
Artist to submit new concepts.

Concept 1: The model is wrapped in a blanket with a Cahuilla basket pattern while staring off as the sun sets and the moon rises...a nod to Menily the Cahuilla goddess of the moon "who taught the people the arts of civilization". There are roadrunners and big horn sheep on either side to complement the scene.ATTACHMENT 2
Concept 2a: This model is not the final person that will be used and only serves as a placeholder. The model will be surrounded by local succulents and flowers. The Artist was thinking of a park and being overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. Also a nice juxtaposition to the more open landscape.
Concept 2b: A different version of the second mural concept. This model is not the final person that will be used and only serves as a placeholder. The model will be surrounded by local succulents and flowers. The Artist was thinking of a park and being overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. Also a nice juxtaposition to the more open landscape.
Concept 3: A series of Cahuilla vases and baskets with local flowers. There will be local wildlife on both sides that includes, hummingbirds, roadrunners, butterflies, and a big horn sheep.
