2003 Downtown Doors Project
Art by four
Lincoln High School students adds life and energy to pedestrian
routes around Fairmont Plaza. It's all part of "Downtown
Doors," a project of the San Jose Downtown Foundation
that aims to add color, interest and vibrance to the city's
sidewalks. The project also provides students an opportunity
to undertake large-scale art for a public setting.
The artists
are seniors Lindsay Ward and Kelsey Mitchell and juniors Sofia
Arredondo and Fernando Borrayo, students of teacher Eileen
Zamora at Lincoln. The art will be on display for a year until
May 2004.
The Foundation
plans to expand the project and broaden the competition next
year.
Seed money
for this year's project, which included an honorarium for
the school's art department, was generated by the sale of
two shark sculptures in the Sharkbyte Art auction. Forest
City Commercial Management provided the doors and window locations
for exhibition.
