Because of the traffic safety issue on the agenda this last week with a no action vote despite that
staggering $146,000 spent to study a solution looking for a problem, the following guerilla street art came to mind. Thanks to Street Art Utopia for a soul satisfying glimpse of imaginative solutions to real problems - communicated through art and acts of civil disobedience - volunteer activism.
City Sanctioned Art
"The First Annual Encinitas Arts
Festival will become reality on May 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the
Encinitas Community and Senior Center. Having
coordinated Imagination Celebration of Orange County, a three-week-long
arts festival held in 50 locations, Jim Gilliam feels Encinitas is ready for a
similar, although smaller-scaled, event.
The Festival will include a huge outdoor drum circle, student art
exhibit, music, theatre, dance workshops, as well as an impressive
lineup of dance performances on two stages coordinated by professional
dancer Georgia Schmid." Coast News

Just Imagine a true arts community, with unleashed creativity . . . where throwing money at things isn't the only method of confronting challenges.
Conversation in the Future
My son, do you want to hear something strange?
You know the new tree painting we did on the garage last week.. Up
until around the year 2050 people generally did not have paintings on
houses!
Well, yes, many were. Often they would paint villas in One colour,
like blue or yellow, but very rarely in more than one or two colours and
almost never any pictures. Most apartment houses and government
buildings and so on were grey. Artists sometimes went and painted on
tunnels, grey municipal buildings and so on, but the pictures were
washed away! By the government!
Well no, but it had to be in special buildings only. Some people felt
that houses was not to be painted on, except in one pale colour all over.
Yes, my son. Now lets get our jackets and go pick some fruit.
Thanks to Facebook Street Art Utopia for images and story.
