Portraits of Hope teamed with Proctor & Gamble - Herbal Essences and worked closely with Santa Monica’s Bayside Business District to transform Santa Monica’s seasonal and traditionally monochromatic recreational ice facility into a lush, festive, brightly colored, and fully operational one-of-a-kind ice skating facility and public artwork. This Portraits of Hope public art and civic project involved hundreds of youth participants in schools, hospitals, and social service programs, college volunteers, and community groups. As part of the civic leadership and creative therapy sessions and activities, participants painted spheres, discs, and panels which could be seen from outside, inside, and above the rink facility. Artwork elements and installations included: the ice, protective skate walls, adjoining building walls, giant spheres, hanging discs, full inside and street facing perimeter enclosure, tents, and ice clearing vehicle. www.portraitsofhope.org
