Surfing Madonna to Finally Get a Permanent Home
SAN DIEGO 10 NEWS
CALIFORNIA - A recommendation for a new location for the "Surfing Madonna" mosaic was unanimously passed by the Encinitas Commission for the Arts on Monday. The recommendation says that the "Surfing Madonna" should be erected in a small park on Encinitas Boulevard west of Coast Highway near Moonlight Beach. The park is also where artist Mark Patterson would like to see his "Surfing Madonna" come to rest. Patterson envisions the park – with its one bench and path that cuts through the rough landscaping – as the perfect setting for his mosaic. "She's a cultural icon for people regardless of religious background," he said. The Commission for the Arts also voted unanimously to accept the long-term loan of the art, passing it up the line to the Encinitas City Council. It may take months and up to $20,000 to put the mosaic back up. A fundraiser is planned for Thursday night in Cardiff at Wine Steals. [link]
