Surfing Madonna loses round 3 at the State House in Sacramento, California
UT SAN DIEGO
By Michael Gardner
CALIFORNIA - The Surfing Madonna apparently won’t be catching a wave at Moonlight State Beach in Encinitas. Citing the artwork’s religious nature and hesitant to overturn an earlier denial by the Department of Parks and Recreation, an Assembly committee on Tuesday rejected legislation that would have permitted the stained-glass mosaic to be installed at the oceanfront park. Artist Mark Patterson and the city will now look for another location, most likely on city property or private land, said supporters of the measure. [link]
