Civic Cultural Commission Page 4 Minutes of August 1, 2002 Commissioner Britschgi stated that the only grant request received this year for public art was from Sequoia High School. She would like to encourage Sequoia High School to apply for a small grant and stated she would also like to see a finalized form of the mural before approving a small grant. Commissioner Kushin felt that the Commission should not be a censor of art work and that it should support public art without seeing the final product. M/S Del Carlo/Ball: To deny the grant request of Sequoia High School. Motion passed. (Yes-4, No-2) The Commissioners requested a letter be sent to Sequoia High School to encourage them to apply for a small grant and request that the Commission would like to see the mural in a more final form. Jackie Powell of Kainos thanked the Commission for their grant approved this evening and announced a showing of Kainos participant art work at the Redwood City Art Center in October. The meeting took a short recess at 9:00pm and reconvened at 9:15pm. The Commissioners requested that all grants denied this evening be given the opportunity to apply for a small grant.
