Portraits of Hope, “Ice at Santa Monica” – Los Angeles Outdoor Ice Skating Facility

 

Photo: Loren Philip

 

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

This family of Sandhill Cranes lives in our neighborhood in Sarasota, Florida. If you look closely, you'll see the "teenager" (he's the small one on the right without a red cap) is showing his parents the slug he caught. He was so proud and kept holding it up in front of them for a long time before gobbling it up. The Cranes lost their first pair of babies earlier this Spring, then lost one of the two babies in this clutch, so we've been anxiously watching as this remaining youngster grows up. Looks like he's going to make it!

Portraits of Hope, “Ice at Santa Monica” – Los Angeles Outdoor Ice Skating Facility

 

Photo: Wire Image

 

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
