My Two Ingots…

I will from time to time give my two ingots worth of what I think is germane to the discussion of the state of the Arts in Oceanside.

At the February meeting of our Arts Commission, Council Kern was presenting for the third time a proposal about the Sklar Memorial in our Harbor. This has been discussed for many months without anything going forward on this issue. Last year when I was on the Commission, we had discussions ranging in issues such as competitions, costs, what kind of art work would be relevant to the harbor. We discussed the environment, the salt air, and so forth.

The concern about costs is an issue which can be solved if the Commission will take the time to create an ad-hoc committee to focus on this one issue alone. This committee can be made up of both commissioners and folks who are professionals in the area of installation sculpture. To my way of thinking this could be accomplished in one or two hours of constructive and focused efforts.

Mr. Kern has mentioned that he is willing to help with the funding, so his input is essential and should be included in the ad-hoc meetings.
