The Public Art Project

07/17/2013

We've offered to pay rent, had funding in place to demo the existing, rotted billboard and build a new one, a carpenter standing by to do the work, and funds to provide stipends to artists for months now, waiting for the landlord and the City of Ferndale to determine our fate. I received word from the landlord today that she prefers to move forward with advertising for Steve's Barber Shop in that location instead of allowing The Public Art Project to continue. A sad choice for the entire community.

You have the right to sit down when you eat
You have the right to take part in real things
You have the right to be smart
You have the right to create your own culture
You have the right to redo your daily life
You have the right to appreciate your local artists
You have the right to look at art
You have the right to take part in the unpredictable unfolding of a more equitable society
You have the right to struggle for your future
You have the right to get back to nature

Our very first billboard installation, by Rick Vian, Fall 2000, has apparently gone viral...

I can’t imagine life without art. For me, it’s become so much a part of myself - so many thoughts and actions a form of expression, communication, concept - the thought of living without is inconceivable. Anyone else feel the same?
