Show Page 2 The Gunnison Valley Gazette Thursday, October 6, 2011 City receives grant from RMP Gunnison City has recently received a $2,000 grant from the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation for the Legacy Wall which will be the focal point of the new public plaza planned for the former Top Stop property. Mark Cox, customer and community manager, Rocky Mountain Power, presented Mayor Lori Nay with the funds on Wednesday, Sept. 28. These funds match a recent grant of $2,000 received from the Utah Arts Council — Arts in Education which is also slated for the creation of the Legacy Wall. Artists, Michael Moonbird and Victoria Lyons, will work with community volunteers and local students to create public art that tells stories of our community and points of interest with mosaic and self-created tiles. This arts project will give students and community members a unique experience to learn about art and local history while providing a valuable aesthetic benefit and cultural asset to Gunnison. Gunnison City has supported other public art projects that have been successful and well-loved—the Sanpitch Dragon and ocean art at the Gunnison Swimming Pool are examples of what good things happen when people come together to create art in a public space. Public art projects build and excite a community, elevate civic pride, help heal and rebuild, and celebrate what is good about the world as the community works together to create a work of art that is truly their own. The Sanpitch Dragon attracted 241 volunteers that came to glue their tile on the wall. Do you know which one is the tile that you placed Gunnison City will be holding a special Fall Cleanup! Friday, October 7, through Monday, October 17 White's Sanitation will leave dumpsters at: 200 East Center and 200 West 50 North for your convenience Historical, self made tiles depicting our stories Please no household garbage Courtesy Photo Architectural drawing of the Legacy Wall. on the wall? The Legacy Wall will need volunteers to do the same thing again and more. Diana Spencer, project chair, is looking for volunteers who are interested in translating this exciting idea into reality. The initial focus will be in the creation of the large engraved self-created tiles which will take people interested in writing the stories and those interested in developing tiles. The artists will guide the volunteers and students in this creative process of developing a pictorial tribute to themes such as: Captain Gunnison, the Sugar Beet Industry, the Blackhawk War, the Jewish Settlement of Clarion, original pioneers, ancient Indians and pictographs, and so on. The Legacy Wall is one of the most exciting features of the Main Street Revitalization Project and will be a monument to the strength of the local people and their accomplishments and a lasting BODY BARN C Mon - Sat 5 am - 10 pm Closed Sundays 1.0DY ElAtt4. 62 South Main Gunnison 435-528-5955 •kom.„ trot' MEMBERSHIP PRICES Single Adult 19 & Older 16 - 18 year old 13 - 15 year old Couples Family (4) 62 & older Adult Day Usage 18 & Younger Day Usage ourtesy oto Mark Cox of Rocky Mountain Power presents Mayor Lori Nay with a $2000 grant for the Legacy Wall.
