New Sculpture Arrives in Arcade Plaza
From the City of Ojai Arts Commission....
Sculptor Michael Pedziwiatr’s cast bronze “Shelved Forms” has begun its one-year residency on display in the Arcade Plaza. The 102-inch-tall work is the latest in the rotation in Ojai’s Changing Sculpture Program, a key component in city’s Public Arts Program.
The Ojai Arts Commission administers the city’s five-year-old Public Arts Program, which also includes art in such public places such as Cluff Vista and Rotary Community parks and the City Hall Collection, and in such private developments as the Oaks at Ojai, Su Nido Inn and the Perrett industrial project on Bryant Circle.
Pedziwiatr's career as an artist spans 30 years, and includes sculptures, paintings, mixed media and what he refers to as “California trash art.” He lives in Ventura and holds a master of fine arts degree from the University of Denver. He has taught sculpture and 3D design at the University of Denver and Ventura College. He is the recipient of City of Ventura Cultural Affairs and Los Angeles Community of Angels arts grants.
The Ojai Arts Commission currently has an opening for a member who lives inside the city limits. Applications may be obtained at City Hall from City Clerk Carlon Strobel.
