Projects

The Alliance for San Juan Art advocates for initiatives to commission and place more Art in the Public Square in San Juan Capistrano that is accessible and visible to the public. The performing arts and temporary art should also be a part of Art in the Public Square. Such an initiative requires broad support and passionate advocates to make it a reality.

MURALS

Murals similar to the one next to Hennessey's Tavern that visually depict the history of San Juan Capistrano may be installed on buildings in the downtown area with owner's permission. Funding for such murals will be from TASJA's generous donors, building owners and from expected grants.

UTILITY BOXES

A modest expense approach expressing Art in the Public Square is by painting our Utility Boxes. Many cities have created such art objects. San Clemente has done a commendable job using a car theme. Costa Mesa, LA, Glendale, and Santa Ana also have city-sanctioned painted utility boxes. Often, they provide an honorarium to artists who want to participate. Dana Point has recently approved an additional 14 boxes.

PERFORMANCE ART

TASJA has sponsoring short plays of 10 to 15 minutes during the last two summers. The Plays were produced by the Round About Players. and performed in Los Rios Park twice a day on Saturdays. Round About Players was formed by Tom Scott, Beverly Blake and Gary McCarver. With your donations TASJA expects to sponsor these short plays every summer.
