Morro Bay BEAUTIFUL is working with the city of Morro Bay to clean, repair
and decorate the city’s sidewalk and park trash containers that will beautify
the downtown and waterfront areas of Morro Bay.
Titled "Art Cans", the project will start with 10 city-owned trash
receptacles and engage the services of local artists to transform them into
works of art.
The theme of the project is "Birds & Beach of Morro Bay", so artworks
would be of local birds and seascapes or a combination of the two.
This is in keeping with the city’s goal of promoting Eco-tourism and
beautification of visitor areas.
Artists & Art - The project’s 5-person committee will select artists
who have answered a call for proposals. The artist will submit drawings to be
reproduced onto the containers and a list of materials they would be using.
Sponsors – Organizations, businesses or private parties may sponsor
an Art Can for a $1000 fee. A plaque on the Art Can will list the sponsor and
artists name. Simply call our president, Ann Reisner, at
805-772-8117.
The enhanced trash containers will send a message to our visitors that we
respect our city and its environment, and encourage them to do the same.
