SUBJECT: Review and Approve an Art in Public Places Proposal for a Mural Titled, Listening to the Rain by Nanibah “Nani” Chacon in the Amount of $19,000 STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Cultural and Arts Commission consider approving and awarding a grant to Nanibah “Nani” Chacon in the amount of $19,000 from the City of Coachella’s Art in Public Places Program to install a mural titled, Listening to the Rain on the Frontier building wall at 933 Vine Avenue.

DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The submitted proposal is for a painted mural project titled, Listening to the Rain. The mural is in line with the artist’s focus on figurative subject matter while exploring concepts within indigenous culture and brining the complexity of indigenous identities to the forefront.
