Autumn has arrived, bringing a cornucopia of original, exciting, and innovative artistic events

h, autumn. Wrap that cozy, cashmere scarf around your neck, and breathe in that brisk, misty air. Welcome to the best season. The calico foliage, crisp apple cider, Guy Fawkes Night, and Ben Stein’s birthday—it’s a great time to be alive. It also just so happens to be a rich and excellent time for the arts. This is why we editors and our intern minions have spent hours, days, and weeks scouring the deepest corners of the Central Coast to bring you the best in what the visual, performing, and scarecrow-related arts have to offer between now and the time in between holiday food hangovers. So stretch out and stick on your business socks, my fellow fall friends, because it’s business time.

That’s right. We’ve gone corporate (you saw the suit!). We here at New Times have swapped in our cache of blueberry cheese for Blackberry phones, and exchanged

our ironic T-shirts for ironclad contracts.

Well, not really. Who would give up blueberry cheese? We would never sell out, but the question of the relationship between businesses, art, and government does serve as the crux of this year’s issue.

How does the government make creative decisions? How do they work with artists?

How do galleries and artists manage themselves within an ever-changing market? What can the world of business learn from the world of art?

We’re not the only ones asking these questions. On Oct. 31, Arts Obispo and the Performing Arts Center are holding the first ever Central Coast Creative Economy—an entire forum devoted to fostering innovative relationships between artists, businesses, government, software developers, heffalumps, orcs, and whoever else might be interested in creative collaborations with other members of

the community. It’s the grand finale to a month filled with arts events sponsored

by Arts Obispo that includes their annual Open Studios Tour, a giant event that allows visitors to take an up-close-andpersonal peek into the process of roughly 200 artists scattered across SLO County.

But wait, that’s not all! Oh no, this fall sees the opening of several, exciting and diverse exhibits, plays, and events. In October, the annual Cambria Scarecrow Festival returns, and once again, hundreds of strange, original, and creative sculptures will haunt the streets of that cozy, coastal town. A few days later, and a few miles south, Picasso will grace the stage of the SLO Little Theatre, along with Einstein in the premiere of Steve Martin’s play about art and genius, Picasso at the Lapin Agile. It’s an auspicious season for the Little Theatre that also includes the popular musical,

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and, in December, the theatrical adaptation of A Christmas Story.

In the galleries and cafés this fall, you can also see a variety of engaging and imaginative exhibits. In November, the embroidered art of motorcycle enthusiast Heather Johnson will be featured at the Cal Poly Art Gallery, and, starting in October, the weird, wonderful, and surreal art of local artist Mark Bryan can be seen at the Steynberg Gallery. These are only a small taste, too, of the many, many paintings, sculptures, plays, lectures, readings, and creative ventures occurring this autumn. So, I say again, welcome to the best season. Let’s get down to business! ∆ Arts Editor Jessica Peña can be reached at jpena@newtimesslo.com.

Galleries, artists, and the business of creativity on the Central Coast

BY JESSICA PEÑA rt is an unusual business, to be sure. At their core, the two entities at the center of both art and business—creativity and money—seem at odds. Like bacon and bananas, or Britney Spears and acting, the two work fine apart, but when put together, tensions can arise. That is because art operates on a paradoxical value system. Art can be considered both a luxury good and an essential human right all at once. Art, in the elevated atmosphere of Sotheby’s auction rooms, embodies social and economic inequity. But, in classrooms and on the streets of cities, public art can be the cohesive element of a community and its culture.

To an extent, both of these pictures are true of San Luis Obispo County’s art market. During the summer, tourists flock from as far away as Asia, Europe, and the distant reaches of Fresno to experience the finer things in life that this region has to offer—wine, beaches, horseback riding, more wine, and, of course, the arts. The Steynberg Gallery, Studios on the Park, Linnaea’s Café, Seaside Gallery, Artifacts Gallery, Fiona Bleu—from Pismo Beach to Paso Robles, there are dozens upon dozens of art venues with dozens upon dozens of original, creative works from locals and out-of-area artists alike. As a recent Tribune headline expressed, there really does appear to be a “renaissance for SLO County’s art galleries.”

“Our mission to is do things that

promote SLO as an arts destination,” Karen Kile, the executive director of the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art, told New Times. “Our business model hasn’t changed. We are like the mothership of the arts scene, and it’s our responsibility to be leaders.”

Located on a plush corner off Broad Street, right between the Mission and the main thoroughfare of downtown SLO, the museum has been a flagship institution for the county’s art scene since its founding, as the San Luis Obispo Art Center, in 1967. Though it, like the many other art venues in the county, took a financial hit during the recession, the museum is back on its feet, offering film screenings, kids’ classes, and curating high-end exhibits that run the gamut from fine crafts to photography. According to Kile, the average visitorship has grown since the name change, with the addition of a new, sleek website in 2008, and an attractive free admission policy. As such, the museum has established itself as a cornerstone of art within the community, and now, it’s looking to expand.

In 2001, the museum’s leadership began the rather tedious process of acquiring city approval for construction. A full 10 years later, they received the green light for a modern design that would enlarge the museum from 5,600 square feet to 26,000 square feet, and would include more stories, new wings, and a balcony for patrons to gather and observe both the art of the museum and the scenic, creekside views of downtown. They are currently in the fundraising phase of the process, with a large portion of the financial support coming from local businesses—a development Kile sees as a step forward for the art and gallery market in SLO. “These businessmen understand the importance of the place as a landmark in the city,” she said. “There are people in business that get art. They get the fact that it attracts the right people, and feeds the community.”

A few miles to the west of SLOMA, up Highway 1, right where the view of the coastal fog begins to seep into the setting, the picture grows a little bleaker.

“As a business, we are somewhat failing,” David Prochaska, art professor and temporary director of the Cuesta College Art Gallery, said over the phone.

In 2011, the venue, which offers one of the few traditional, white-walled gallery spaces on the Central Coast, suffered a major setback. Their director retired, leaving them without the financial means to hire a replacement. Currently, the institute, which primarily functions as a learning facility and arena to showcase art from outside the county, operates on a shoestring budget, with no permanent gallery staff. The program received a $50,000 donation from a local rancher, but with consistent cuts to the state education budget, it remains right on the brink in terms of survival.

“It’s hard to get people to fund the arts ... unless there’s a ticket,” Prochaska explained. “For us, we can’t really charge a ticket. For the outside community, it’s the best gallery. But, we’re centered outside of town by a few miles, and people don’t seem to find it a viable area to contribute money to. In the community, things have slowly gone downhill in terms of people taking part of the local art community, and keeping things going.

The times are the way they are, people are trying to make ends meet, and art is a privilege. ... I feel we’re turning into a dinosaur already; I can feel the tar.”

It’s a gloomy portrait, but one’s that possibly reflective of a larger divide within the arts scene on the Central Coast. There are galleries, yes; there are artists, yes.

For Breton, too, this type of flexible and creative self-marketing has been key to staying afloat.

Until very recently, both Breton and Claassen helmed the eclectic Fiasco Gallery at Studios on the Park. Now, with that space suffering the same fate as their previous venues, both have moved some of their work to Huckleberry Market, a new creative venue located on Walker Street in SLO. In the vein of another self-starter’s paradise—SLO MakerSpace— Huckleberry Market is now offering fall workshops on all manner of artistic endeavors from cake decorating and flower arranging to a class on resin coating, demonstrated by Breton.

between artists and businesses are what many in the art community see as the next step toward a more cohesive community and culture here in SLO County. Already, business and art have joined forces at Art After Dark, and in SLOMA’s Art About Town program, where 27 SLO County businesses feature local, original artwork. But, there is still room to grow, according to Jenna Hartzell, executive director of ARTS Obispo.

“We’re about getting our creative community together,” she explained. “We have a fractured economy. Art doesn’t get enough publicity from the tourism industry. There are just so many arts events, they’re not promoting it as arts and culture. Tourism has event-specific marketing, it’s always marketed alone, but I hope that, in the future, arts and culture will be promoted as a whole, year round.

But, it’s hard to find out our creative economic impact. We understand the impact on the surface, but it’s hard to do without the data.”

In late October of this year, a new event on the Central Coast may help to solve this fracture that Hartzell speaks of. Sponsored by both ARTS Obispo and the Cal Poly Performing Arts Center, the Central Coast Creative Economy forum is the first of its kind—an event-packed, one-day symposium for businesses, artists, galleries, architects, winemakers, and whoever else might be interested to gather, discuss, and collaborate in interesting, creative ways.

“It always seemed to me that separating the arts from everyday life, and from business in particular, that that separating is totally artificial,” Ron S. Regier, managing director for the Performing Arts Center, said. “In fact, there is a very high degree of integration between creativity, the arts, and business.

This is another step, part of the evolution here locally, to put the focus on creative commerce here on the Central Coast.”

This is the kind of collaboration that Hartzell hopes for—an all-inclusive forum that blends the best of creativity and commerce for the betterment of the entire community, not just downtown SLO. “Every culture that values the arts is successful, economically or otherwise,” she observed. “So, it’s all about value. We want to promote the arts community as a whole, and when that happens, the whole community thrives. It puts the area on the map.” ∆ Jessica Peña tried bacon and bananas, and now regrets it.

The creative design behind SLO public art

PHOTOS BY TOM FALCONER

BY CLIFF MATHIESON an Luis Obispo is a city that’s full of art. It’s nearly impossible to walk through downtown SLO without coming face to face with at least a few attractive public designs.

The city’s artistic abundance didn’t just happen out of nowhere, though; SLO’s government has put thousands of hours into making sure that the city is bursting at the seams with art.

A massive amount of time and effort has been put into each little design decision—from the painted fuse boxes on downtown street corners to the city’s official emblem. These projects take years to plan, fund, approve, re-approve, and re-approve some more.

The public art review process begins with the “art jury.” Local business owners, arts council members, educators, and historians all make up the rotating cast of art jury personnel.

The art jury reviews and selects a finalist from a pool of design submissions. They are instructed to make their decision based on criteria such as the artistic quality of the design, architectural scale, potential construction materials, and variety of artistic expression. Though the official criteria from the public art guidelines notes that “expressions of profanity, vulgarity, or obvious poor taste are inappropriate.”

The Architectural Review Commission has to review the structural viability of the project and make sure that the design is safe and complies with building codes. The Parks and Recreation Commission may get to review the plan too, depending on its proposed location. The Cultural Heritage Committee reviews the design in relation to the community and historical context of the project. And, of course, the San Luis Obispo City Council is involved in the process at multiple stages—both early in the process and in the ultimate decision of whether or not the design will become a reality.

It’s easy to imagine that the art may get more than a little jumbled with this many cooks in the kitchen, but SLO Recreation and Public Art Manager Melissa Mudgett said that there are safeguards in the system to make sure that the art’s integrity stays intact throughout the protracted process.

“There might be a few design tweaks here and there in response to public safety or constructability,” Mudgett said, “but at no time do these committees have the ability to redesign the artists’ work.”

In fact, according to Mudgett, the process can actually enhance the integrity of the art. She said that having people from all walks of life review the art—especially in the early stages when a design is chosen from a pool of contenders—ensures the city can display designs that speak to each

OUT OF THE BOX After seeing a similar project in Ventura, the SLO city government invited 16 artists to paint the various utility boxes downtown. Seen here is Marcie Hawthorne’s box on Chorro St.

member of the community.

“We understand that the beauty of art is in the eye of the beholder,” Mudgett said. “The review process reduces this subjectivity of art by providing multiple opportunities for community input, as it allows for dialogue about an art piece and ensures the piece is consistent with the overall desires of the community at large.”

Each piece of public art has a story behind it. Designs imagined by people who are passionate about their community, and then agonizing years of committees and meetings—which aren’t the things one thinks of when ruminating on the topic of “art.” It is vital, though, that the city is careful about what it displays publicly. It’s

36 • New Times • September 18 - September 25, 2014 • www.newtimesslo.com

not just aesthetically pleasing, it’s the way the city markets itself to potential residents and businesses.

A tale of two logos

While it’s not technically a piece of “public art,” SLO’s official emblem is one of the more recognizable brand symbols that the city uses. At least, that’s what SLO’s government was hoping. In reality, most San Luis Obispans would be hard pressed to pick the emblem out of a line-up.

Its flat depiction of the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa façade, bland font, and large tree—which has been gone for years—just wasn’t resonating with anyone.

The design that seemed to stick in

peoples’ brains was actually the simple and iconic yellow and blue bell of the city’s official flag.

The flag is much more modern than the old emblem—it was part of a 1971 contest to create a new official flag for the city. Marion Kay was awarded $100 when her design was chosen from a pool of 45. According to Kay, the yellow represents the city’s rolling golden hills, the blue represents its clear blue skies, and the curving white swatch in the middle represents the creeks flowing through the community. At the forefront, the bell and arch acknowledge the city’s historic past.

SLO has since co-opted the flag design for websites, documents, and even city buses. At the same time, the city also uses the official emblem on some of its websites, documents, and public buildings.

When the city hired RDM Design Group and Pierre Rademaker Design to assess SLO’s current signage and create the new wayfinding signs—which have been popping up all over downtown in the last few months—the designers found that there was something seriously wrong with the city’s branding.

With both the flag design and the official emblem vying for recognition as SLO’s logo, the city’s brand was becoming muddied and inconsistent, which is not what a city wants when it’s trying to market itself to potential residents and businesses.

But, Pierre Rademaker of Pierre Rademaker Design had a plan: He would class up the outdated city emblem. Pierre gave the emblem a facelift while keeping pretty true to the original. The new version has a more dynamic look. Instead CITYSCAPE continued page 38

of the old Libra font, which can be found on signs all over SLO, Rademaker gave the emblem a bit of historic flair by creating a Spanish-style font inspired by the hand lettering on the side of the original train depot.

Rademaker also removed the anachronistic tree—the most egregious part of the old emblem.

According to the city’s tourism manager, Molly Cano, the new emblem design was received well and passed smoothly as part of the wayfinding sign project through the Promotional Coordinating Committee, the Architectural Review Commission, the Cultural Heritage Committee, and City Council.

“The city is now using this new emblem in all city applications and identification materials,” Cano said.

It remains to be seen how effective the new branding will be, though. As of press time, both the old emblem and the flag logo still sit side-by-side, vying for the love and attention of the city’s citizens on slocity.org, the city’s official website. The new logo is still nowhere to be found on the home page.

It’s (finally) happening

In 2006, a group of young local skaters showed up to a city community forum. They were there to tell the City Council that the old wooden skate park—built in 1994—just wasn’t cutting it anymore. They petitioned the city to officially make the building of a new skate park a “major city goal.”

Little did they know that eight years, more than $2 million, and many, many meetings later the city would be nearly done with one of the most ambitious public art projects that it has ever taken on.

Not long after that fateful community forum meeting, both the local skaters and the city mobilized to raise funds for the project.

The city started selling customizable bricks that would be built into the skate park. The park’s website boasted many reasons to buy a brick such as, “support the SLO skate park,” “celebrate a birthday,” “leave a legacy,” memorialize a loved one,” or just because “it’s cool!”

With the brick money, the money raised by local skaters’ fundraisers, a $25,000 Tony Hawk Grant, and, of course, more than $1 million in Measure Y dollars, the project had sufficient funding. The next question was, what would it look like?

After an all-out bidding war—and a multitude of meetings—California company ProWest Constructors won the contract to build the park. The city wasn’t content with run-of-themill half-pipes and bowls, though. The Architectural Review Commission recommended that public art be integrated into the skate park.

The city commissioned local artists to design art that would be both beautiful and functional. A “concrete jungle” design, consisting of four massive metal trees, was approved after a City Council review process. The trees would have circular shade appendages, with a design that would spell out skaterelated words like, “ripside,” “360,” and “gnarjar” in the shadows that the structures would cast.

The concrete jungle, designed by Jed Joyce and John Jones, is intended to be an attractive mix of form and function that should elevate the skate park from just a fun hangout place to a really beautiful city addition—even if the skate

slang may seem completely ridiculous.

Local skaters have been heavily involved in the project from the very beginning. A “skate holders group” will form to review the current operations of the park and make recommendations to City Council. The group will also help set the park’s rules and guidelines— such as, should bikes and scooters be allowed?

After more than eight long years of fundraising, reviews, and approvals, the young skaters who originally petitioned the city to build the skate park are all grown up. After a prolonged process of back and forth bureaucracy, the city can now proudly and truthfully proclaim what they advertise in their promotional material—“it’s happening.”

Boxing days

Most public art projects are mired in close to a decade of meetings and reviews, but every once in a while a project comes along that’s so cool and uncontroversial, it gets rushed through the process.

Thanks to the City Council’s official “major city goal” for “downtown maintenance and beautification,” the city had an excuse to fast-track the Box Art project, an idea inspired by similar endeavors in other cities, including Ventura.

The plan was simple: The city would commission local artists to turn the ugly green utility boxes that litter downtown into fun works of art.

The city sent out a call for artists from San Luis Obispo, Monterey, and Santa Barbara counties. They were told to send in their resumes, references, images of prior work, and full-color conceptual renderings of their box ideas.

In less than two months, the call for submissions was over. The Art Jury picked 16 artists based on criteria like, “experience in working on comparable projects,” “relationship to the social, cultural, and/or historical identity of the site,” and “overall artistic excellence.”

The submissions still had to go through the Architectural Review Commission and the City Council, but these reviews happened within days of the Art Jury’s selection rather than the months or years that the process sometimes takes.

Even the painting of the boxes was rapid. Soon after the official City Council approval, the artists set out to paint their masterpieces. After one weekend of fervent painting, there were 16 more pieces of public art downtown.

Each artist was paid between $1,000 SKATE EXPECTATIONS After eight years of review and planning, a new skate park is finally being built at Santa Rosa Park in SLO, which will feature designs and sculptures from local artists Jed Joyce and John Jones.

and $1,500 based on the size of the box.

It all went over without a hitch. The project was so successful, in fact, that the very next year the city commissioned another round of 16 more designs. That’s 32 pieces of public art in less than half the time it usually takes to review and approve one.

“It’s a very popular program,” SLO Recreation and Public Art Manager Mudgett said. “I get weekly calls from community members asking about the next [round of Box Art] and from other cities wishing to implement a box art program that are looking to our program for guidance.”

Mudgett said that the city is already thinking about the next round of art, but before that happens they want to update the wording of the Box Art program with information about repairs or replacement in the event that a painted box is damaged. “Do we replace with standard green? Do we have the artist repaint? Does the box become priority for the next phase of painting?”

This policy update is set to be hammered out at the City Council on Nov. 18. After that, Mudgett said, the idea of another round of Box Art will be revisited. Soon, SLO residents may see more nature scenes, abstract patterns, or colorful and cute animals pop up around town as soon as next year.

On September 11, 2001, the entire country was impacted by the attacks on New York’s World Trade Center. But, when we think of a memorial for the people who lost their lives, just about the last place we would expect to see it is the cloistered little city of San Luis Obispo, nearly 3,000 miles from ground zero.

Despite the distance from the disaster, in both space and time, Central Coast firefighters felt that they needed to pay tribute to the service men and women who lost their lives on that somber day.

In 2007, local firefighters decided to petition the federal government for a piece of the Twin Towers for use in a SLO memorial. After two years of waiting, the firefighters got their

ON THE ROAD Another piece of SLO’s iconography, a simpler design, by Marion Kay, of yellow and blue with a bell, features heavily on city buses and street signage.

answer: The city of San Luis Obispo would soon be home to a 1,500 pound. piece of American history.

The problem was, how could the I-beam make its way to San Luis Obispo? While the government donated the giant metal chunk, they weren’t going to go as far as paying to move it across the country.

Firefighters and Rotary Club members teamed up to bring the artifact to town. The Rotary Club donated $5,000 to cover the costs of transporting the beam, and then it was time for an epic road trip. One retired fireman, one Rotary Club member, and one lucky grandson trucked more than 6,000 miles and triumphantly returned to SLO with the distinguished beam.

After the beam arrived at Fire Station 1, it took around three years for the city to approve the funds to create the memorial and cast the net for potential artists. Ninety-three proposals were submitted and it was up to the Art Jury to sift through the chaff and find the perfect person for the job.

Kathleen Caricof has designed and sculpted myriad public structures and memorials with a focus on community involvement. The Art Jury fell in love with her September 11 memorial design, which consists of 403 poles of red rusted steel and blue anodized aluminum— each representing an individual police person or firefighter who lost their life at ground zero—jutting straight up out of two concrete bases emblazoned with words like “strength,” “service,” and “bravery.”

The World Trade Center beam will be “laid to rest” between the half-circles of blue and red metal poles. The piece is called “Standing Tall.” Caricof’s concept for the memorial focuses on the idea that these brave folks should be remembered for “standing tall on their virtues.”

The memorial is projected to be finished in 2015. The total length of the project has spanned the careers of four SLO fire chiefs.

The review and approval process that these public art projects have to go through is long and tedious, but the impact they make on the community lasts even longer. The art that fills the city helps create a carefully controlled image that enhances SLO government’s initiative to bring in new businesses, tourists, and potential residents. At the same time, it kills two birds with one stone. In SLO, art is part of creating a brand, but it’s also about creating a community culture. ∆ Cliff Mathieson is ready to “ripside” it up on a “360” “gnarjar”—whatever that means.

ARTWORK BY ANDREA ZITTEL

Some people dedicate their lives to their art.

Andrea Zittel, who will give this year’s Ruth Fash Art Talk at Cuesta College, makes art out of life. Zittel creates handmade clothing, recycling systems, breeding projects, architectural living units (seen here), and more, on the premise that “there is really no such thing as a non-creative gesture.” She’s even created uniforms that she wears for each season. Zittel’s talk will take place from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 28, in room 6304 of the Cuesta College Humanities Forum. To learn more go to artsobispo.org, or call 544-9251.

They may be lacking brains and are mostly comprised of straw, but every year scarecrows manage to take over Cambria during the annual Cambria Scarecrow Festival. For the entire month of October, hundreds of scarecrows in a variety forms will line Moonstone Beach Drive and invade Cambria’s East and West Villages. A kick-off party with food, wine from seven local wineries, and awards for best scarecrows will be held Oct. 2. To find out more, go to cambriascarecrows.com.

ARTWORK BY HEATHER L. JOHNSON

An exhibit by artist Heather L. Johnson will be on display at the Cal Poly University Art Gallery, Nov. 6 through Dec. 5. Johnson is currently traveling through the United States, Mexico, and Central America on her Triumph Tiger 800 motorcycle for an art project that involves placing hand-embroidered works in the places she visits. “My work examines spaces from the perspective of an outsider looking in, positioning the viewer to gaze intimately at things that are temporary, generally ignored, or distorted by memory,” Johnson writes.
