Subject: Enhancemnt to Bos Art Policy - Support
Dear Mayor Marx and Honorable Council Members Carpenter, Ashbaugh, Christianson, and Rivoire,
We applaud and support the proposed Enhancements to Box Art Policy. The Box Art program is a wonderful bit of public
art and we ask that you adopt the new policy enhancements. It is a delight to walk and drive around the town and be
charmed by the boxes. We visited the artists during the two installations. It was great fun. It was clear that the artists
put their all into the art work. It would be a loss to everyone if the boxes were to be prematurely painted over. The new
protocols are excellent — expanding the program to all the city boxes before considering repainting of older boxes and
some method of archiving the artists' work.
It's a delightful program. Hats off to San Luis Obispo City for starting the program. Please move forward and adopt the
new policies.
Kind regards,
Susan and Richard Harvey

"To varying degrees, we human beings live inside other human beings already,
even in a totally nontechnological world. The interpenetration of souls is an
inevitable consequence of the power of the representationally universal
machines that our brains are. That is the true meaning of the word "empathy"."
