The Mission Playground Artist Selection Panel selected San Francisco artist Michael Bartalos for recommendation for approval from the Arts Commission to develop a design for a new public artwork that will be implemented in conjunction with the Mission Playground renovation project. Bartalos is an accomplished printmaker, sculptor and graphic designer who has exhibited his work internationally and has authored many limited edition artist books. In September 2008, his design for a 42-cent Latin Jazz stamp was issued by the U.S. Postal Service. Come meet this talented artist and learn more about the public art project at Mission Playground. A Spanish translator will be provided at the meeting.
