“The major amenities we are putting in place today downtown show how our city is poised to soar once again when we emerge from the pandemic.”Īs part of the City’s $365 million C3 Project, The SAFE Credit Union Convention Center is scheduled to be finished in late May with a ribbon cutting ceremony planned for early June. “These artworks will all reflect Sacramento and the incredible works of music, dance, theater and other genres that will be performed inside our renovated performing arts center,” said Mayor Darrell Steinberg. The convention center and performing arts center are currently undergoing an extensive expansion and renovation, which includes several public art projects. The district includes the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center, SAFE Credit Union Performing Arts Center and the recently remodeled Memorial Auditorium. “It’s vital that the City continues to support the arts community and pursue providing opportunities for our local creatives.”
“Our creative talent base contributes directly to our region’s creative vitality, while also attracting tourism, driving innovation and bringing people together,” said Councilmember Katie Valenzuela, who represents the district. “Public art can play an important role in healing and recovery and these new works are poised to do just that by engaging the senses and bringing fresh energy to this area.” “We’re delighted that the installation is beginning to get underway, and that Sacramento residents and visitors alike will have new public art to explore and experience as we continue to reopen,” said Megan Van Voorhis, the City’s creative economy manager. Garza, along with Atlas Lab Inc., a Sacramento-based public art and landscape architecture firm, reflects California’s relationship to the natural environment with a 25-foot tall sculpture titled “California Cathedral.” The other artists selected are Jiayi Young, who also is from Sacramento, as well as California artists Nova Jiang and Einar and Jamex De La Torre.
SAFE CREDIT UNION INSTALL
Sacramento artist Kimberly Garza will be the first artist to install their work, starting early next week. Four California artists will soon install five new works of public art at the SAFE Credit Union Convention and Performing Arts District.
