RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Public Art Commission approve conceptual designs by artists Nigel Sussman and Mona Caron for the two long-term temporary murals to be painted at two locations in downtown Palo Alto. BACKGROUND Based on the successful previous roll-out of the Temporary Murals Pilot Program on California Avenue in 2023 and guided by the PAC 2024/25 working priorities to bring murals to Palo Alto neighborhoods and commercial corridors, in early 2024 the Public Art Program staff released an open call for walls focused on the Downtown and Midtown areas. The call was open to private property owners interested in having a mural commissioned on their public facing wall. Staff secured permissions at three downtown locations to host long-term temporary murals: Mac’s Smoke Shop at 534 Emerson Street, Pacific Art League at 668 Ramona Street, and All Saints Episcopal Church at 555 Waverley Street. In February 2024, PAC approved funding in the amount of $43,00 to commission the three murals. Staff utilized its Pre-Approved Muralist Roster to identify project artists. 126 artists responded to staff to confirm their interest in being considered for the project. A selection panel comprised of Palo Alto based arts professionals, community members, a Public Art Commissioner and city staff evaluated the top 60 qualified artists online and later reviewed and discussed twenty at a selection panel meeting in June 20241. Artists Mona Caron, Nigel Sussman, and Harumo Sato were the highest ranked applicants approved by property owners. They were approved by the PAC, and contracted to create site-specific designs and paint murals in June 2024. However, the projects were put on hold due to an unexpected, statewide general-contractor licensing issue. In 2025, Senate Bill 456 was introduced and enacted, exempting artists who paint or restore murals from the 1 Public Art Commission, June 20, 2024: Agenda Item #3; SR 3173, Approval of Artists. https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/viewer/preview?id=0&type=8&uid=9d956819-6ae1-4672-b85f- 85956c00bc71 2 Packet Pg. 8 previous requirement to hold a contractor’s license. Staff has remained in contact with the project artists and host sites throughout the entire process to keep the parties informed and ready to resume the projects once the new legislation is enacted. CONCEPTUAL DESIGNS BY NIGEL SUSSMAN AND MONA CARON Palo Alto Discoveries, to be painted at the alley wall of the Pacific Art League at 668 Ramona Street in downtown Palo Alto was “directly inspired by the history of the region, and of the building itself. Using bold graphic, line-work, and a limited palette, layering specific references to history, architecture, culture, and native flora and fauna, will result in a compelling and complex composition that reflects this location”. During his design development, the artist did a site visit, spoke with local historians, librarians, residents, and Pacific Art League staff, and completed his own personal research to gather input to inform his design. “Collaboration with local communities is a key component in the creation process, ensuring the artwork aligns with their context and needs. Once installed, the artwork should bring joy, knowledge, and context to an otherwise underutilized stretch of wall.” artivist, Caron’s work often explores themes of resilience, ecology, and social empowerment. She first became known in San Francisco for her community-specific murals, created through immersive and participatory processes that foreground local history and neighborhood stories - work that was later featured in the Emmy Award–winning documentary A Brush with the Tenderloin. Dirca occidentalis), a rare, endemic Bay Area species. She will capture the plant at the luminous moment of its early spring bloom, celebrating its delicacy, persistence, and deep connection to the region’s natural ecology. Through this radiant depiction, Caron invites viewers to consider the beauty - and vulnerability - of the local flora that surrounds us. TIMELINE, FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT, POLICTY IMPLICATIONS: 2 Packet Pg. 9 The property owners / tenants for both properties previously reviewed and approved the conceptual designs of the murals. Upon approval of the artist’s conceptual design by the PAC, the staff will coordinate painting on-site dates with the artists and the site hosts. The painting will take place in Winter – early Spring 2026. The murals will be temporary in nature with a minimum life span of five years. The murals are funded through the City’s Art in Public Places CIP fund.    The City of Palo Alto Public Art Program operates in accordance with Chapter 2.26 Visual Art in Public Places Policy of Palo Alto Municipal Code. The Municipal Percent for Art Policy specifies that the City will budget one percent (1%) of its construction costs to include public art for City capital improvement projects that have a visual impact on the surrounding environment by altering a site through new construction or reconstruction, at the initial stages of design, thereby ensuring that art elements become an integral part of the overall design. In 2015, in order to strengthen its ongoing commitment to the City’s municipal public art program, the Palo Alto Council amended the Palo Alto Municipal Code to add Section 2.26.070 "Public Art for Municipal Projects" to Chapter 2.26 (Visual Art in Public Places). The Ordinance enhanced the funds available for public art and increased flexibility to provide art experiences that are timely and relevant throughout the community. According to the Ordinance, one percent (1%) of the City’s annual Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget devoted to public art is deposited into the Public Art Fund. Funds may be used at any appropriate site within Palo Alto for permanent or temporary public art projects. Additionally, funds from two or more CIP projects may be pooled to fund a single work of art.    ATTACHMENTS Attachment A: Conceptual Designs and Artists’ Statements for temporary murals by Nigel Sussman and Mona Caron. 2 Packet Pg. 10 Digital render for a mural by artist Nigel Sussman for 668 Ramona Avenue, Palo Alto. Artist Statement: “As a freelance illustrator and muralist, I produce artwork intended to communicate complex ideas or emotions in accessible formats. Through the experience of creating public art, I have observed its potential to engage a wide audience and contribute positively to community spaces. When integrated into an environment, art can enliven public areas and add visual interest. Using only paintbrushes and exterior house-paint and bit of creativity, a space can be transformed with thoughtful mural work. As with all my murals, this piece for the Palo Alto Public Art program is site-speciﬁc. It will be located on the side of The Paciﬁc Art Leage build at 668 Ramona Street and will be directly inspired by the history of region, and of the building itself. Using bold graphic, line-work, and a limited color palette, layering speciﬁc references to history, architecture, culture, and native ﬂora/fauna, will result in a compelling and complex composition that reﬂects this location. I spoke with local historians, residents, and directors of the Paciﬁc Art Leage, as well as doing my own personal research to gather information of what to include. Collaboration with local communities is a key component in the creation process, ensuring the artwork aligns with their context and needs. Once installed, the work should bring joy, knowledge, and context to an otherwise underutilized stretch of wall.” -Nigel Sussman 2 Packet Pg. 11 Digital render for a mural by Mona Caron for Mac’s Smoke Shop at 534 Emerson Street Artist Statement: For her proposed mural at Mac’s Smoke Shop at 534 Emerson Street, Caron turns her focus to the Western Leatherwood (Dirca occidentalis), a rare, endemic Bay Area species capturing the plant at the luminous moment of its early spring bloom and celebrating its delicacy, persistence, and deep connection to the region’s natural ecology. Through this radiant depiction, Caron invites viewers to consider the beauty - and vulnerability - of the local ﬂora that surrounds us. 2 Packet Pg. 12 Public Art Commission Staff Report From: Elise DeMarzo, Manager Community Services Sr Programs Meeting Date: December 18, 2025 Report #: 2512-5737 TITLE Acceptance of a Donation of Artwork – Acceptance of an artwork to the City’s public art collection by Cubberley Artist Martha Sakellariou. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Public Art Commission accept the donation of artwork by Cubberley artist Martha Sakellariou into the City Collection. ANALYSIS This gift of artwork is being offered by a CASP artist as part of the Cubberley Artist Studio Program (CASP) agreement. According to the CASP Guidelines, all CASP artists are expected to donate one of their artworks in their first (4-year) residency term to the City’s Public Art Program. The donation is subject to the approval of the Public Art Commission and, upon acceptance, will be deemed a gift made under terms and conditions established by the City. Martha Sakellariou uses interdisciplinary, collaborative and public engagement practices to create site-specific multimedia installations. This also includes performances and interventions. As a visual artist Martha works with a variety of media such as video, audio, textiles, sculpture, paintings and prints. Martha's practice includes inhabited spaces, structures of living, objects and visual storytelling. Making use of her personal life and circumstances she explores themes on home, life rituals, domesticity and identity. Martha puts an interest in the way individuals and communities respond to urban and suburban spaces. She engages concepts that embrace both politics and aesthetics. Martha has exhibited and curated art projects on independent and collaborative platforms internationally. She obtained her Master’s in Fine Art printmaking from the Royal College of Art in London UK, and her BFA in painting from the National Athens School of Fine Art, Greece. She was born in Athens, lived and worked in London for seventeen years, and moved to California in 2014. 3 Packet Pg. 13 Artist Statement about the Artwork: Martha Sakellariou is donating Self-Portrait as Athena [in the kitchen in June 2019] (2025), and archival pigment print using pencil, pastel, and ink on Kozo Japanese mulberry paper measuring 28 x20 inches. This artwork is part of THE GOLDEN HOMES project launched by Sakellariou in 2019 in Athens, Greece. It is a series of photo-based and improv performance acts that focus on the idea of home, transition, memory and loss. The group of homes included in this body of work, belongs to a particular kind of properties no longer favored by the locals, found in parts of the city that have been transformed by the influx of recent migration, current social trends and patterns. In the light of the Greek economic crisis these homes have become investment opportunities for foreign landlords who quickly repurpose them into short-term housing for tourists. The rapid change of ownership and functional status erases a big part of the domestic and cultural identity of these homes but also creates a new ambiguous reality and an anticipated new life. Repositioning the emotions and motions of human presence in this case the female dweller and hostess, is a symbolic reenactment of the archetypal home and the domestic story. It is also an interim fictional state where one imagines rather than experiences what home is and what it means. It manifests states of human condition and the transitions from past, present to future and from habitable to non-habitable structures and notions of living.
