NOVEMBER 20, 2015, KEIZERTIMES, PAGE A3 Planning ongoing for mural Leaders take Covanta tour By CRAIG MURPHY Of the Keizertimes The new public mural on the north wall of Town & Country Lanes won’t be done until next summer, but the prep work is still going on. Jill Hagen, the Keizer Pub- lic Arts Commission member who’s in charge of the proj- ect, gave an update during the Oct. 27 KPAC meeting. In recent weeks, some of the visible prep work was done as gray primer now fi lls the space, along with the wording “Join Keizer’s mural project 2016” with the city website address (www.keizer. org) underneath. Hagen thanked KPAC members Jessi Long, Rick Day, Kim Steen and Keizer City Council Amy Ryan for their work getting the prim- ing done. “You guys did wonderful job on the priming and let- tering. It looks great,” Hagen said. Hagen noted she has talked to three artists about shar- ing the workload, including showing community mem- bers the fi ner points of work- ing on murals. “I want this to be a com- munity mural,” Hagen said. “I A KEIZERTIMES/Craig Murphy The primer has been applied to the north wall of Town & Country Lanes, where Keizer’s second public mural will be going up next summer. thought of the idea of having people work for 20 minutes on this one design, then 20 minutes on the next one. The artists have offered to talk to our group about mural de- velopment. So far three artists have agreed to work with me on presentations. We will have these people present different ideas and techniques. You can create distance with the use of color and size. I want the community to feel comfort- able with doing this. Our plan is to offer free classes.” Lore Christopher, chair of the KPAC, liked the idea. “So three artists will be do- nating their time and volun- teers will get instructions from the artists,” she said.

Ryan said something about the project needs to be added to the city’s website, especially since the writing on the wall refers people to the website for more information. “I can do it,” said deputy city recorder Debbie Lock- hart, who noted one design issue with the city’s new web- site is the lack of a true front page. A banner message has since been added. Christopher noted she had a similar issue trying to fi nd information about the KPAC holiday card contest on the city’s website. Hagen said she would be getting dimensions for each piece of art to go on the mural and arrange dates for meetings and presentations with the artists. “What I’d like to do is of- fer the artists $50, to pay them something for their time,” Hagen said. “Not only are we going to ask them to do a pre- sentation, but also to super- vise one time. I’d like them to think about doing supervision for a four-hour period.” B C Covanta Marion, Inc. host- ed local government offi cials on a tour of its waste-to-en- ergy plant in Brooks and its ash monofi ll location north of Woodburn on Saturday, Nov. 14.
