Town Crier Report

Los Altos’ Ninth Biennial Sculpture Competition is now accepting entries. Headed by the Public Sculpture Committee, an advisory committee to the Parks, Arts and Recreation Commission, the competition is open to submissions through Nov. 7.

Within the Los Altos city limits, more than 20 sculptures of all types are prominently displayed. Some of these sculptures were purchased and donated to the city, and the artists have donated others.

The Public Sculpture Program focuses on sculptures loaned to the city by the artist for an exhibition period of approximately two years.

All submitted sculptures should be made from a permanent material suited for outdoor display. They will be on loan to the city for a mutually agreed on period of two or more years.

Chosen sculptures will unveiled next May at the Los Altos Rotary Fine Art in the Park show.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

Recent news beyond Los Altos has been less than sunny, let’s face it: The national economy remains shaky, gas is officially more than $4 a gallon, the death toll from last week’s cyclone disaster in Myanmar could exceed 100,000 and another disaster close behind it – the 7.8 earthquake that hit China on Monday, killing nearly 9,000 people.

All the more reason to count our blessings on the local scene. Certainly, the high quality of life in Los Altos is well documented, but here’s another thing to consider: Numerous plans and projects under way bid to make this community even better.
