San Rafael approves slate of public art projects

New public art displays are coming to San Rafael.

The City Council enthusiastically approved a public art program that will bring five pieces of artwork to sites in the downtown core. The vote on Feb. 2 included approval of a $10,000 budget increase to a $260,000 project total.

“Can we have like five separate ribbon cuttings?” Mayor Kate Colin said ahead of the vote. “Let’s try to do it that way and really just maximize the joy that these pieces will bring.”
