In nearly every city in the Bay Area, art can be seen in many places. But where is it in Menlo Park? I understand the City of Menlo Park - Art Commission ended over ten years ago, and is now dormant, much like what seems to be the art program.
The job has been assigned to the Parks and Recreation Commission; however, their plate seems to be full on other issues. Dog parks and other issues seem to fill much of their time.
Maybe art is not important in Menlo Park. Is culture dead or on life support? I suppose one can always go to San Francisco, Mountain View or San Jose - even Redwood City and Palo Alto.
With so much time being spent on development (Stanford project, Facebook expansion, Greenheart, St. Anton and others), maybe art will have to take a back seat for another 10 years.
