Project Name: "100 Views of Pleasanton" <br />Location: Downtown-wide <br />Type of Project: Views of artists at work <br />Summary Description: Pleasanton residents treasure their rich environmental resources, natural <br />habitats, lush gardens and verdant landscapes. A one-day plein-air painting (painting in the open air) <br />annual event: "100 Views of Pleasanton" could inspire even greater public appreciation of the city's <br />parks, vistas, and the Arroyo. Entry could be offered to selected local and regional artists with nationally <br />recognized artists invited and paid to participate. An inexpensively produced map/guide would be <br />produced for visitors who would like to view artists at work in the natural light of a Pleasanton afternoon. <br />A public reception featuring the tinished works would culminate in an award of one work for later <br />reproduction as large scale vinyl banner, displayed for one year at a mural site downtown. <br />Audiences: Park users, tourists, local residents <br />Budget: <br />$10,000 ($2,000 stipend/expenses per invited artist) <br />$500 for conversion of artwork to banner <br />Timeframe: <br />Select sites for large banner location, exhibition reception: three months <br />Artist selection/invitation: four months <br />Research and produce artists' guide/map to potential observational locations: three months <br />3~l <br />
