ART FOR VANDALISMS SAKE

In yet another attempt , the Public Art Committee of Safety Harbor Florida features this July 2014 " A Call to Artists : Requesting Proposals for Showcase SH@ Mullet Creek Nature Park- Art Walls.

Mullet Creek Nature Park was made possible by a $150,000 community development block grant. With a prior history of VANDALISM to Public Art in the small town of Safety Harbor , surveillance cameras were not installed.

There are some who feel the need to hide certain information . They are pragmatic and live by the mantra that the end justifies the means. This is behind the scenes politics and how it operates.

The  PAC show grave negligence , preferential treatment and insincerity on their part appearing to have absolved themselves altogether. Numerous requests have been denied since October 2013 to present a photo on the Safety Harbor Public Art Facebook page of the " One artist will be awarded an additional $500 for best in show" as stated in the original request for proposals. In the interim, the online voters, hailing from the four corners of the globe have yet to see the collaborative result of the Safety Harbor Homeschoolers AKA ,Homeschool Art Students of the Community Center. Who directed and oversaw the mosaic "Tiled Together" has not been unveiled nor the truth revealed.

Three of the selected applicants for the 2012 Inaugural year of MCNP chose to donate their pieces to the town of Safety Harbor and submit additional entries / 2014 , in lieu of support for the artist whose painting was VANDALIZED .

Undeniably this is a blatant perpetration of injustice , a false and distorted representation and truly a social commentary on the mentality of those placed in position to make decisions .
