More public art coming to public places in Yucca Valley

4

On a recent Z107.7 Up Close Show, host Gary Daigneault was joined by Clayton Rardon and Jakub Kusmieruk from the Yucca Valley Parks and Recreation Department. Rardon discussed the Town’s recent reinvigoration of their public art program, accompanied by a funding initiative. Daigneuat asked about the art work adorning electrical boxes at commercial properties throughout town. Gary asked about them, and Rardon said:

“And they, I mean, they last a long time. As far as public art goes it’s something that people really get behind.. it does a lot for the area. We have a lot of good ones. So we’ve done six so far. The next round will be at six or eight more at high-visibility, high-traffic locations in town, and that will be launching later in 2025”
