HIGHLIGHTS <br />Art Kiosk Installation Project <br />The RCIA marked its sixth year of support for the <br />rotating Art Kiosk Installations through an annual <br />funding of $50K. Curated by Fung Collaboratives, <br />the initiative thrived in 2024, showcasing a vibrant <br />mix of local and international artistry. Featured <br />installations included The Falling Crown by Naledi <br />Tshegofatso Modupi, Oracle by Sheila Ghidini, and <br />Shadows & Light, The Legacy of Guernica by <br />Mexican artist Fernando Escartiz. <br />These compelling works not only brought diverse <br />perspectives to the forefront but also sparked <br />meaningful conversations and fostered a strong <br />sense of community in Redwood City. Amplified by <br />consistent outreach through newsletters, social <br />media, and other media platforms, the project <br />drew widespread attention and engagement. <br />Located in one of the Courthouse Square kiosks, <br />the Art Kiosk project aims to further enhance and <br />beautify the community for residents and visitors <br />— establishing downtown as a dynamic artistic <br />destination in San Mateo County. <br />PAGE 6 • 2024 ANNUAL REPORT <br />Community Events <br />The RCIA celebrated the lively spirit of community <br />that echoed through Courthouse Square and the <br />streets of Downtown, as events drew residents and <br />visitors together in joyful connection including <br />Movies on the Square, Music on the Square, ART <br />on the Square, Kids Rock, Oktoberfest, Día de Los <br />Muertos and Zoppe International Circus, next to <br />the Downtown Public Library.
