She drove in search of it and found the strip of trees alongside the IBM campus on Cottle Road and photographed the trees. When, in the following months Filo's thoughts kept returning to the trees, she decided to document the orchard before it was destroyed.

The deed to the City specified that the City “will make said park a place of relaxation, recreation, and enjoyment for the people of the City of San Jose, and in such a manner as will, to extent that such can be reasonably done, give to said park a rural county character and atmosphere.” Emma Prusch Farm Park includes heritage, high density, and rare fruit orchards, a Plant Science Center, two community gardens, pollinator and butterfly gardens, as well as acres of lush green lawns for picnics and playing. It also has one of the largest free standing wooden barns in California, home to 4H large animals including beef cattle, sheep, and swine. \r\n\r\nThe artist was inspired by the story of Emma Prusch, San Jose's rich agricultural history and the continuing traditions. A Monument to the Last Barn draws upon this influence: the form is a four-sided metal structure derived from traditional Santa Clara barns, but stripped of outer cladding to reveal the essential framework. This iconic linkage to early barns is further underscored by the rich, deep barn red color of the piece. The barn’s corrugated galvanized steel roof is topped with three golden wind vanes depicting a rooster, a windmill and an apple. The gables and railings are inset with filigree screens in a bold “fruits and leaves” pattern, representing the orchards that were so vital to the region.

They also desired an artwork that revolved around a theme of transition, both physically and symbolically, to represent the transformation of the park through the master plan and the restoration of wildlife. Lastly, they hoped that Murch’s artwork would be a place of contemplation and peace. Murch’s artwork features a stone circle in the middle of the garden covered in round holes, reminiscent of Native American pounding holes, which function as waterholes for wildlife. To the north of the stone circle is an oak grove, which also references indigenous people who were dependent upon acorns as a staple of their diet. Ornamental cherry trees are planted to the west and east of the circle in remembrance of the Hayes’s orchard and the valley’s agricultural past. A bridge leads away from the circle towards the mansion over a moat of wildflowers in honor of Frontier Village.

Doris Dillon was known for her generous spirit and passion for teaching.  She engaged students through games, and it was often said that she could “teach a rock to read.”  Teaching Stones consists of two primary elements. The first is a reading/sitting area, inspired by one of Doris’ favorite activities: story telling. The reading area provides a place to sit and share stories in the traditional manner of gathering in a circle. The decomposed granite interior of the circle extends outward to the sidewalk forming the overall shape of a keyhole, a reflection of Doris’ belief that reading is a key to learning and knowledge, which she shared through teaching.The second element is a series of nine large smooth-surfaced granite stones that are placed throughout the Liquid Amber Tree grove where the project is sited.  Each stone is inscribed with a ribbon containing words from one of the elements of language: nouns, verbs, etc. The words chosen and sandblasted into the stones were collected inspired by Doris Dillon’s life and work. In the same spirit in which Doris fostered learning through play, the stones can serve as a playful learning tool for future generations: rubbings can be done on the stones with pencil and paper, with students moving from stone to stone, gathering a noun from one, a verb from another and onward until a full sentence is collected.This commemorative artwork honors Doris Dillon’s legacy of mixing learning with pleasure in the form of a gift to the community she loved so well.", - "sourceURL": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Public-Art-Teaching-Stones-Almaden-Commu-480", + "sourceURL": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=32449", "sourceOfInformation": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities" }, "id": "art_3f8fb9c69b43fad05c4792466a64e698fd6937a836e0fedcaf63722c81be354d" @@ -5484,7 +5484,7 @@ "postalCode": "95129", "image": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/ShowPublishedImage/5826/636716839901830000", "description": "The focal point The Singing Stone is a square granite column in the library courtyard.

This iconic linkage to early barns is further underscored by the rich, deep barn red color of the piece.

Through public meetings, Murch discovered that the community wanted an artwork that was inspired by the vast history of the site. They asked for the piece to incorporate elements of the indigenous people of the valley, the agricultural era, Frontier Village - the 1960s era amusement park located on the site, the Hayes family orchards, and the garden of Mary Hayes. They also desired an artwork that revolved around a theme of transition, both physically and symbolically, to represent the transformation of the park through the master plan and the restoration of wildlife. Lastly, they hoped that Murch’s artwork would be a place of contemplation and peace. Murch’s artwork features a stone circle in the middle of the garden covered in round holes, reminiscent of Native American pounding holes, which function as waterholes for wildlife. To the north of the stone circle is an oak grove, which also references indigenous people who were dependent upon acorns as a staple of their diet. Ornamental cherry trees are planted to the west and east of the circle in remembrance of the Hayes’s orchard and the valley’s agricultural past. A bridge leads away from the circle towards the mansion over a moat of wildflowers in honor of Frontier Village. Lavender is found on the far edge of the oak grove, creating a rich scent nostalgic of Mary Hayes’ healing garden. This peaceful artwork provides an area for quiet meditation on the transition of the seasons and the transformation of the park’s historic value. Students from neighboring elementary, middle and high schools participated in the creation of the artwork and, in the past, used it as a touchstone for a curriculum about the community.", - "sourceURL": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Public-Art-Untitled-Edenvale-Garden-Park-502", + "sourceURL": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=32447", "sourceOfInformation": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities" }, - "id": "art_dda45380ded35043b8b147375c883b406e7af150c9b2031b715c3411dc1efd7a", + "id": "art_6cbdc7685fcc56dab1b19247eab1032668090352b26a741563ab5fc2edeaccde", "geometry": [] }, { @@ -1425,10 +1425,10 @@ "postalCode": "95120", "image": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/ShowPublishedImage/5174/636715835704670000", "description": "Almaden Valley is a two panel mural that flanks the stage in the community room.

By day, viewers see text permanently etched onto the surface of the glass panels.  From the outside, the text reads, \"Truth is stranger than fiction is stranger than truth...\"  From inside the lobby, the text reads, \"Life imitates art imitates life...\" In the evening, the LCD panels  are transformed into video screens.  Images projected onto the screens sequence between movie trailers and live feed from video cameras mounted inside the lobby.  In between these sequences, the screens become transparent, allowing full view of the interior lobby.  A computer controls all of the dynamic elements of the marquee, including activating the panels, turning them translucent and providing the surface upon which images can be projected.  The image sequencing is preprogrammed for the twelve months of the year to begin operation at dusk and continue through midnight.", - "sourceURL": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Public-Art-Jump-Cuts-Camera-Cinemas-419", + "sourceURL": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=32367", "sourceOfInformation": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities" }, - "id": "art_dcfbf7f1cfec05025928887e76a7506242cf356ef48bba8cf5b03bc07bbe01e1" + "id": "art_cdc9f2026557be41369a781cbe89a5665cabf4019bbc418bc0d51b8c51d6c30d" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -2315,10 +2315,10 @@ "postalCode": "95110", "image": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/ShowPublishedImage/5342/636716034986130000", "description": "Five murals composed of numerous panels of various sizes, put\r\ntogether like a puzzle.

The phrase “show your stripes” has long been used to indicate social or political position; show what you’re made of, which side are you on.

Over time, stripes have taken on a more positive connotation: freedom, playfulness, or with banker’s pinstripes – taste and status. The artwork is not simply a light show.

A quiet reflector of the changing sky during the day, at night the piece transforms into San Jose’s shared secret – the phone number a pass code to control the changing patterns.

Together these elements create, in Roberts’ words, “A haven where visitors may learn about local history and Montgomery specifically, as well as reflect upon human invention...a subject so significantly linked to San Jose.\"", - "sourceURL": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Public-Art-Soaring-Flight-Evergreen-Park-441", + "sourceURL": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=32433", "sourceOfInformation": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities" }, - "id": "art_9d232c6e94774137b193edf7406a90cee8d81431f25db0150d7707f6d4f83eb3" + "id": "art_acc2c76932523d15ebab7d278a5c9e2990743edf0d6d77b7bde3a2b319f58954" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -4354,10 +4354,10 @@ "postalCode": "95136", "image": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/ShowPublishedImage/5750/636716819596930000", "description": "This work includes four art glass windows located in the children's area and a suspended glass lamp near the library entrance.The artwork's visual imagery refers to ancient alphabets as the foundation of the written word, which in turn is fundamental to libraries and illumination of the mind.

These are lineages of the languages that presently are predominant in the Pearl Avenue Branch Library collection. The lamp is inscribed with ancient Sumerian cuneiform script which repeats the text \"We are all one.\"  The lamp is lit with color changing LEDs, programmed to cycle on 30-minute intervals through the color spectrum. In this way the lamp also functions as a timepiece. Another critical but unseen aspect to the artwork are photovoltaic cells that are embedded in the four glass panes. These collect solar energy that then provides power to light the lamp. Through this work the artist is seeking to awaken people to the miracle of language and writing as the key to understanding the past, expressing the present and imagining the future.

Doris Dillon was known for her generous spirit and passion for teaching.  She engaged students through games, and it was often said that she could “teach a rock to read.”  Teaching Stones consists of two primary elements. The first is a reading/sitting area, inspired by one of Doris’ favorite activities: story telling. The reading area provides a place to sit and share stories in the traditional manner of gathering in a circle. The decomposed granite interior of the circle extends outward to the sidewalk forming the overall shape of a keyhole, a reflection of Doris’ belief that reading is a key to learning and knowledge, which she shared through teaching.The second element is a series of nine large smooth-surfaced granite stones that are placed throughout the Liquid Amber Tree grove where the project is sited.  Each stone is inscribed with a ribbon containing words from one of the elements of language: nouns, verbs, etc. The words chosen and sandblasted into the stones were collected inspired by Doris Dillon’s life and work. In the same spirit in which Doris fostered learning through play, the stones can serve as a playful learning tool for future generations: rubbings can be done on the stones with pencil and paper, with students moving from stone to stone, gathering a noun from one, a verb from another and onward until a full sentence is collected.This commemorative artwork honors Doris Dillon’s legacy of mixing learning with pleasure in the form of a gift to the community she loved so well.", - "sourceURL": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Public-Art-Teaching-Stones-Almaden-Commu-480", + "sourceURL": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=32449", "sourceOfInformation": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities" }, - "id": "art_5ef471ce9fba561b67ce808836101a296d5b8542beb44c3b6329bfb1c09f5082" + "id": "art_c1e9001861e6ea46a909fdf28303548e5cd671049c728973e0614cf8a27f432a" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -4696,10 +4696,10 @@ "postalCode": "95129", "image": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/ShowPublishedImage/5826/636716839901830000", "description": "The focal point The Singing Stone is a square granite column in the library courtyard.

According to Mesoamerican indigenous cultures and oral traditions, each of the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west) corresponds to an element, a community memory of value, a time of day, and a color of corn a fundamental agricultural symbol: East is fire, family, sunrise, and red corn West is wind, local heroes, sunset, and yellow corn South is earth, work, noon, and blue corn North is water, history, night, and white corn.  These symbols honor the Mexican community in various forms throughout the plaza: Four patterned metal grilles in the windows of the tower introduce traditional ironwork with pre-Columbian designs. Metal work is continued in each of the gates into the plaza. Mosaic thresholds inside the gates explore the theme of location and direction. The thresholds were inspired by mosaics commonly seen in Mexican colonial cities such as Taxco, Puebla and Tlaxcala and mosaic work in San Jose.  The garden alcoves are offering places linked by thematic press tiles to the cardinal directions and dedicated to a community value. The tiles were created by community members during a series of public workshops. The photographic tiles were translated from family albums and personal collections contributed by the local community.  A recurring image of the hummingbird, derived from Mesoamerican motifs, can be seen at the water fountain and on two accent walls at the south and east entrances. The hummingbird, an ancient Mesoamerican talisman, is a symbol of love and the warrior spirit. It is common in San Jose, a tiny but tenacious bird that migrates thousands of miles from Mexico to California every year and plays a role in shaping the landscape by pollinating the plants from which it drinks nectar. The hummingbird motif is intended to speak to the spirit of immigrant citizens, their endurance, strength, tenacity, and their contributions to the culture and nature of California.

The deed to the City specified that the City “will make said park a place of relaxation, recreation, and enjoyment for the people of the City of San Jose, and in such a manner as will, to extent that such can be reasonably done, give to said park a rural county character and atmosphere.” Emma Prusch Farm Park includes heritage, high density, and rare fruit orchards, a Plant Science Center, two community gardens, pollinator and butterfly gardens, as well as acres of lush green lawns for picnics and playing. It also has one of the largest free standing wooden barns in California, home to 4H large animals including beef cattle, sheep, and swine. \r\n\r\nThe artist was inspired by the story of Emma Prusch, San Jose's rich agricultural history and the continuing traditions. A Monument to the Last Barn draws upon this influence: the form is a four-sided metal structure derived from traditional Santa Clara barns, but stripped of outer cladding to reveal the essential framework. This iconic linkage to early barns is further underscored by the rich, deep barn red color of the piece. The barn’s corrugated galvanized steel roof is topped with three golden wind vanes depicting a rooster, a windmill and an apple. The gables and railings are inset with filigree screens in a bold “fruits and leaves” pattern, representing the orchards that were so vital to the region.

Lastly, they hoped that Murch’s artwork would be a place of contemplation and peace. Murch’s artwork features a stone circle in the middle of the garden covered in round holes, reminiscent of Native American pounding holes, which function as waterholes for wildlife. To the north of the stone circle is an oak grove, which also references indigenous people who were dependent upon acorns as a staple of their diet. Ornamental cherry trees are planted to the west and east of the circle in remembrance of the Hayes’s orchard and the valley’s agricultural past.

Thin metal strips are embedded in the terrazzo curve throughout the rink creating patterns like those etched in ice by skate blades. Complementing these curves, text conveying the personal recollections of each champion swirl about the ice. The surface of the rink also features five recessed niches; these contain display photographs and personal memorabilia of the San Jose area figure skating champions. The final element of the work is a set of three winners' circles, cylindrical disks of varying heights; these reference the award podiums for medalists. They are designed so that anyone can stand on them and experience a personal moment of championship.", - "sourceURL": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Public-Art-Five-Skaters-Arena-Green-416", + "sourceURL": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=32345", "sourceOfInformation": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities" }, - "id": "art_e2bcb99eb1370e9d20f1ddc0713e9c5a7de3fec86c94a971cb3a90b479d8ba04" + "id": "art_38a939bed82c9dbfa2b49c3b6a4b9590ea616bc401920010d47addefa1336ffc" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -1562,10 +1562,10 @@ const art = { "postalCode": "95116", "image": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/ShowPublishedImage/5200/636715840438970000", "description": "Foretokens is a series of cast bronze amulets attached to sculptural bases placed at every tee at the Rancho Del Pueblo Golf Course. The idea of icons of power (lucky tokens) affecting fate is a universal concept, inspired the artist to create nine bronze talismans for the nine-hole golf course including: a lucky penny, a horseshoe, a wishbone, a four-leaf clover, a hand milagro, a scarab, a rabbit’s foot, a bat, and a Zuni bear fetish.", - "sourceURL": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Public-Art-Foretokens-Rancho-Del-Pueblo--492", + "sourceURL": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=32347", "sourceOfInformation": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities" }, - "id": "art_4bcc3f277754dea7f7ed7514dd3ec2ec2f32e261418bac67b2962fe5585cccce" + "id": "art_cd2f6dd506a9a1c079b98b03ba5f04dbba00a3c938ef2070154581da249f928a" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -1585,9 +1585,9 @@ const art = { "country": "United States", "postalCode": "95112", "state": "CA", - "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/" + "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/mural-locations" }, - "id": "art_243d98820395dc07fac2e2400d1fe79fe9a10aad17b64488d5c7eb5d117de891" + "id": "art_b7526c1b8da663cb1aa3cef06a49974cae7acac9b6798256c9aecfe961071176" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -1630,10 +1630,10 @@ const art = { "postalCode": "95136", "image": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/ShowPublishedImage/5216/636715925026570000", "description": "Edenvale Park is the former location of Frontier Village, a western-themed amusement park that thrived before closing in 1980.

The phrase “show your stripes” has long been used to indicate social or political position; show what you’re made of, which side are you on. At one point in history, stripes were relegated to the margins of society: jugglers, courtesans, and in Medieval paintings the devil is often shown wearing stripes. Over time, stripes have taken on a more positive connotation: freedom, playfulness, or with banker’s pinstripes – taste and status. The artwork is not simply a light show. For the changes to be activated, it takes viewer participation, as the activation phone number above indicates. A quiet reflector of the changing sky during the day, at night the piece transforms into San Jose’s shared secret – the phone number a pass code to control the changing patterns. In 2015, launching the first of a series of light-based artworks that will appear throughout downtown San José as part of the “Illuminating Downtown Project,” the artist was invited to develop a new series of interactive programs based on community input. After completing a simple and fun survey, the Mr. Conti choreographed a sequence of unique stripes based on participants’ answers.  Some number sequences relate to a community member’s favorite song or color, others are simply employed for their dynamism or beauty.

Doris Dillon was known for her generous spirit and passion for teaching.  She engaged students through games, and it was often said that she could “teach a rock to read.”  Teaching Stones consists of two primary elements. The first is a reading/sitting area, inspired by one of Doris’ favorite activities: story telling. The reading area provides a place to sit and share stories in the traditional manner of gathering in a circle. The decomposed granite interior of the circle extends outward to the sidewalk forming the overall shape of a keyhole, a reflection of Doris’ belief that reading is a key to learning and knowledge, which she shared through teaching.The second element is a series of nine large smooth-surfaced granite stones that are placed throughout the Liquid Amber Tree grove where the project is sited.  Each stone is inscribed with a ribbon containing words from one of the elements of language: nouns, verbs, etc. The words chosen and sandblasted into the stones were collected inspired by Doris Dillon’s life and work. In the same spirit in which Doris fostered learning through play, the stones can serve as a playful learning tool for future generations: rubbings can be done on the stones with pencil and paper, with students moving from stone to stone, gathering a noun from one, a verb from another and onward until a full sentence is collected.This commemorative artwork honors Doris Dillon’s legacy of mixing learning with pleasure in the form of a gift to the community she loved so well.", - "sourceURL": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Public-Art-Teaching-Stones-Almaden-Commu-480", + "sourceURL": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=32449", "sourceOfInformation": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities" }, - "id": "art_5ef471ce9fba561b67ce808836101a296d5b8542beb44c3b6329bfb1c09f5082" + "id": "art_c1e9001861e6ea46a909fdf28303548e5cd671049c728973e0614cf8a27f432a" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -4696,10 +4696,10 @@ const art = { "postalCode": "95129", "image": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/ShowPublishedImage/5826/636716839901830000", "description": "The focal point The Singing Stone is a square granite column in the library courtyard.

According to Mesoamerican indigenous cultures and oral traditions, each of the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, and west) corresponds to an element, a community memory of value, a time of day, and a color of corn a fundamental agricultural symbol: East is fire, family, sunrise, and red corn West is wind, local heroes, sunset, and yellow corn South is earth, work, noon, and blue corn North is water, history, night, and white corn.  These symbols honor the Mexican community in various forms throughout the plaza: Four patterned metal grilles in the windows of the tower introduce traditional ironwork with pre-Columbian designs. Metal work is continued in each of the gates into the plaza. Mosaic thresholds inside the gates explore the theme of location and direction. The thresholds were inspired by mosaics commonly seen in Mexican colonial cities such as Taxco, Puebla and Tlaxcala and mosaic work in San Jose.  The garden alcoves are offering places linked by thematic press tiles to the cardinal directions and dedicated to a community value. The tiles were created by community members during a series of public workshops. The photographic tiles were translated from family albums and personal collections contributed by the local community.  A recurring image of the hummingbird, derived from Mesoamerican motifs, can be seen at the water fountain and on two accent walls at the south and east entrances. The hummingbird, an ancient Mesoamerican talisman, is a symbol of love and the warrior spirit. It is common in San Jose, a tiny but tenacious bird that migrates thousands of miles from Mexico to California every year and plays a role in shaping the landscape by pollinating the plants from which it drinks nectar. The hummingbird motif is intended to speak to the spirit of immigrant citizens, their endurance, strength, tenacity, and their contributions to the culture and nature of California. The choices of planting materials in the garden were selected to attract hummingbirds.", - "sourceURL": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities/Facility/Details/Public-Art-Untitled-Mexican-Heritage-Sch-428", + "sourceURL": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/home/showdocument?id=32461", "sourceOfInformation": "https://sanjoseca.gov/Facilities" }, - "id": "art_e685ef439da4d37deb9ed1f6f3a965b763f61b578f9d4288f8826a386c697dea", + "id": "art_b4410acb7e6c8420961ece5142f3d00c1decbb27eab3ccaa619793e40074d9e1", "geometry": [] }, { @@ -5380,9 +5380,9 @@ const art = { "country": "United States", "postalCode": "95110", "state": "CA", - "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/" + "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/mural-locations" }, - "id": "art_3d157e141f819d07e3a04d92dcc9c10e1147d67598accb1308b93b0f16bd9150" + "id": "art_22b3eaa31c6bbce58b0e63d6f272f7eede32a30333c0b25f186a9094917d214c" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -5402,9 +5402,9 @@ const art = { "country": "United States", "postalCode": "95113", "state": "CA", - "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/" + "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/mural-locations" }, - "id": "art_e9e7b4c7123f1a2b548fe212f718a9f267c2273629d3ebeffe8fe8003c29dc99" + "id": "art_316d9b0f55a56cb2dfed2e0f280ce6bd7521ca3ad3f134d6d3922e2e02ab9dda" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -5425,9 +5425,9 @@ const art = { "country": "United States", "postalCode": "95110", "state": "CA", - "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/" + "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/mural-locations" }, - "id": "art_c34b28c09e30fe5ef79716267ac83f9170cb5e502fd01f982fd650b2f871cddc" + "id": "art_c83fa80f888e375ab2a1d741b08c9dd0450b03395ad2f23ec02164458fa0113f" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -5491,9 +5491,9 @@ const art = { "country": "United States", "postalCode": "95113", "state": "CA", - "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/" + "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/mural-locations" }, - "id": "art_8b0cd592d12deb8f527644ae515ae841f37ba131c03695c683e6daf9dc6a31be" + "id": "art_07018c97f3ea6315f65a29072e1aad7f1959e3a739187f69e742c97f9236303d" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -5766,9 +5766,9 @@ const art = { "country": "United States", "postalCode": "95112", "state": "CA", - "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/" + "sourceURL": "https://www.powwowsanjose.com/mural-locations" }, - "id": "art_cbcb6af9c592fc75a017ffe312fdeb1552df2d96587b4b066ab66e1f2c6a1e13" + "id": "art_a6d73d26a1337d02efff28f92d2be518ff7edc9239566eada3e7655bc90583f2" }, { "type": "Feature", @@ -5788,10 +5788,10 @@ const art = { "postalCode": "95116", "image": "https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/ShowPublishedImage/5922/636716850973830000", "description": "Jackie Brookner’s site-integrated artwork for Roosevelt Community Center serves as a functional filtration system that assists in diminishing the Center’s environmental impact on nearby Coyote Creek and the City’s storm water system.
