The La Grande Arts Commission on Saturday, April 11, announced the call for proposals.
The selection commission, according to the request, is especially interested in submissions that âconsider the values of the communities that make up La Grande, are multicultural, interactive and engaging. ⦠Weâre looking for an innovative and creative design that speaks to the cultural identity of La Grande and honors its heritage through a cohesive use of materials and visual language. The artwork should reflect the theme, âHonoring the Past, Celebrating the Present; Embracing the Future.ââ
Stu Spence, director of La Grande Parks & Recreation, explained the arts commission for several years has held what it calls âcreative conversationsâ with members of the art community in Northeast Oregon, except for in 2020, due to the pandemic.

On 14 February 1929, four men, posing as police officers, burst into a Chicago liquor warehouse controlled by George ‘Bugs’ Moran, Al Capone’s chief rival, and executed seven men. Gang warfare ruled Chicago’s streets during the prohibition years. The St Valentine’s Day massacre, as the incident became known, was the climax of a series of murders, bombings and kidnappings that rocked the windy city – and the United States. Crime kingpins, from Chicago’s Al Capone to New York’s Arnold Rothstein, amassed huge fortunes in the highly profitable illegal liquor trade, their supply rings smoothed by payoffs to judges, politicians and policemen on the beat. Rebellious men and women patronised the illicit speakeasies and nightclubs these organised criminals controlled. In this subterranean world of illegal drink, new dance crazes and musical genres – jazz prominent among them – were all the rage.
