FLAGSTAFF — Through a collaboration between the City of Flagstaff’s Beautification and Public Art Commission and the Sustainability Commission, Mountain Line recently installed artwork reflecting the theme of climate change and hope on five of its buses. The project accomplishes several goals, including spreading hopeful climate change messaging, beautifying the city’s streetscape and providing opportunity for artists in the Flagstaff community.
Designs by Dana Kamberg, Beau Arenas Ortiz, Kayley Quick, Luke Giles, and Nate Nise were selected by community members and the artists will be recognized at the September 21 Flagstaff City Council meeting. Photos of the designs, along with brief biographies of the artists, can be found at https://www.flagstaff.az.gov/4673/Climate-Change-and-Hope-Bus-Artwork.
Artists are available for interviews to discuss their creative process, inspirations and hopes for the planet’s future.
For questions related to the project or to learn more about the artists, please contact Eliza Kretzmann, Beautification, Arts and Sciences Manager, at Eliza.Kretzmann@flagstaffaz.gov or (928) 213-2969.
