Project Description Country: USA Location: Soldotna, Alaska Total Budget: $3,000 Area of Focus: None Activity Type: Education: General Summary: Mural competition with schools to encourage local art skills and spread art throughout the community We would use that amount to sponsor mural competitions at the Freedom House women's rehab center and the four Soldotna area secondary schools and work in the schools to help the students develop their skills. From each school and from Freedom House, we would choose one final mural design, award that person a $150 cash prize and then turn that mural design into a final high quality 4'x8' aluminum mural that could be mounted outside or inside on a permanent basis. We have already done 8 such murals paid by businesses and hung them a few years ago. This would result in five permanent displays of art by students at those schools, with Rotary prominently identified. It would fit very well with our prior Rotary mural project that resulted in the Kenai Airport large mural and 8 smaller murals also part of our 2015 public art project. That public art project was presented as a Rotary project in October 2015 as an invited presentation to an international circumpolar public art conference hosted at UAA - Anchorage that year.

The Kenai Peninsula College art student murals have been chosen. These will be completed by approximately April 15 and then forwarded to G.F. Sherman signs for final all-weather production. These will then be sited at the major Soldotna Creek Park along the Kenai River in downtown Soldotna as a primary foundation for the shifting by the City of Soldotna toward a public art oriented park. Another major Soldotna Rotary public art project, with rotating displays from around the State of Alaska, has been in place and in use since 2015. Hence, this 2018-2019 mural project, and any to follow, will complement each other. 17-May-19 by Joe Kashi Soldotna Rotary Club Mural Project is completed and all photos and expense accounting submitted. 17-May-19 by Joe Kashi System Entry: Final Report signed by Joe Kashi. 21-May-19 System Entry System Entry: Final Report signed by Dan Nelson. 29-May-19 by Alex Slivka System Entry: Final report approved by the District Approval Committee.
