This chapter may be known and cited as the "Laguna Beach art in public places program."

The public health, morals, safety and welfare, as well as the popularity and prosperity of the community, are dependent upon and enhanced by visually pleasing and high quality public art. Therefore, the city council declares that in the interest of the public health, morals, safety and welfare it is the policy of the city to require the acquisition and installation of public art works as provided in this chapter. (Ord. 1 1 19 § I (part). 1986).

ART IN PUBLIC PLACES INSTALLATIONS

1. Projects:

   1. Villa Bella Grotto, installed 1992

      Artist: Leah Vasquez, Laguna Beach, California
      Location: 2470 South Coast Highway at Upland
      Medium: Cement with pottery and glass remnants
      

      Description:A pique assiette or “prickly seat” grotto-like seating area composed of cement imbedded with bits of pottery and glass collected from local residents and beaches, then assembled by the artist.

      Artist Comment: “The concept for the Villa Bella Grotto emerged directly from the dictates of the site and the idea of how public art is accessed, created and experienced. I wanted this piece to be a gentle reminder of handcrafted and slower times; something that will be discovered while sitting, walking, taking a closer look, while at the same time being able to throw out a sparkle that one captures in the corner of one’s eye while driving past at night, attracting the romance in all of us.”

   2. Second Thought, installed 1991

      Artist: Herbert Laizans, San Clemente, California
      Location: Festival of Arts grounds, 650 Laguna Canyon Road
      Medium: Bronze
      

      Artist Comment: “The sculpture was inspired by two different ideas. Using the latter idea I decided to call the sculpture ‘Second Thought’.”

   3. Untitled Sculpture, installed 1992

      Artist: Tom Askman, Spokane, Washington
      Location: City Hall, 505 Forest Avenue
      Medium: Rock, steel, bronze and concrete with water
      

      Artist Comment: “The intent of this piece was to create a site-responsive sculptural water feature that allowed for and enticed pedestrians to walk through and experience the site. The primary emphasis was to create a playful and experiential encounter for passerbys in the Village area and that demonstrated a concern for water conservation.”

   4. The Waterfall, installed 1992

      Artist: DeWain Valentine, Honolulu, Hawaii
      Location: Surf and Sand Hotel, 1555 Pacific Coast Highway
      Medium: glass, granite and water
      

   5. Laguna Kelpbeds, installed 1992

      Artist: Terry Thornsley, Laguna Beach, California
      Location: Physicians Center West, 31852 South Coast Highway
      Medium: Bronze
      

   6. Interlude, installed 1993

      Artist: Peter Busby, Lakeville, Connecticut
      Location: Alta Laguna Park
      Medium: Interwoven steel rods
      

      Description: Five “whales” diving into a sea of grass defined by stones encircling the pieces in the shape of a pointed ellipse. Open, web-like surface of hot-dipped, galvanized steel rods.

      Artist Comment: “This sculpture is representational of and inspirational to the environmental and cultural spirit of the community of Laguna Beach.”

   7. Waymark, installed 1993

      Artist: David Sabaroff, Laguna Beach, California
      Location: 1404 North Coast Highway at Monterey
      Medium: Black granite on cobblestone
      

      Artist Comment: “The work is from a series that I see as ‘artifacts’: evidence of the human process left in the form of landmarks, tablets and standards. This waymark - carved from a single piece of stone - identifies the northern limits of town along the road that traces the Pacific edge of our continent from Mexico to Canada.”

   8. Untitled, installed 1992

      Artist: Various car manufactures
      Location: Ruby’s Diner, front parking lot, 30622 Pacific Coast Highway

   9. Music of the Spheres, installed 1994

      Artist: Nancy Mooslin, Los Angeles, California
      Location: Frederick Lang Park, Pacific Coast Highway at Wesley Drive
      Medium: Painted aluminum tubing
      

      Artist Comment: “This interactive work speaks of the language of nature, color, music and measurement and the possibility of using these elements to find and communicate harmony, balance, poise and peace - those qualities which bring people and ideas together and gives us a glimpse of a larger, inclusive order.”

   10. Off the Wall, installed 1995
