City of Half Moon Bay to Remove the Half Moon Gateway Sculpture at the South End of Main Street

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
As construction on the Highway 1 Safety and Operational Improvements – South project has progressed and some of the new fixtures have been installed, including two curved concrete entry structures and landscape improvements, the Half Moon Gateway Sculpture, located at the south end of Main Street and Highway 1, is no longer visible on the approach into town, and as construction continues, the area where the sculpture currently stands will undergo re-development. As part of this process, the city will be removing the sculpture from its current location.
The Half Moon Gateway Sculpture, sculpted by the late artist Sharon Mayes, was dedicated on June 24, 2000, and was a joint commission by the Philanthropic Ventures Foundation, the Main Street Beautification Committee, and the City of Half Moon Bay. As part of the formal deaccessioning (removal) process, City staff have been in communication with the artist’s next-of-kin, the Half Moon Bay History Association, and the Coastal Arts League. Once the sculpture has been removed, it will be safely stored at the City’s corporation yard until its future disposition is determined in compliance with the City’s public art policy, once that policy is completed. For more information, please contact Victor Gaitan at [email protected] or 650-750-2010.

La ciudad de Half Moon Bay va a remover la escultura de la media luna en el extremo sur de Main Street

A medida que avanza la construcción del proyecto de mejoras operacionales y de seguridad de la Autopista 1 – Sur y se han instalado algunos de los nuevos accesorios, incluidas dos estructuras de entrada de concreto y mejoras al paisaje, la escultura de la media luna, ubicada en el extremo sur de Main Street y la autopista 1 ya no es visible en el acceso a la ciudad y, a medida que continúe la construcción, el área donde se encuentra actualmente la escultura se seguirá desarrollando. Como parte de este proceso, la ciudad tendrá que remover la escultura de su ubicación actual.
La escultura de la media luna, esculpida por la difunta artista Sharon Mayes, fue dedicada el 24 de junio de 2000 y fue una comisión conjunta de la Fundación Philanthropic Ventures, el Comité de Embellecimiento de Main Street y la Ciudad de Half Moon Bay. Como parte del proceso formal de remoción, el personal de la Ciudad ha estado en comunicación con los familiares más cercanos de la artista, la Asociación de Historia de Half Moon Bay y la Liga de Artes Costeras. Una vez que se haya removido la escultura, se almacenará de manera segura en el patio de la corporación de la Ciudad hasta que se determine su disposición futura de acuerdo con la política de arte público de la Ciudad, una vez que se complete esa política.
