Aquatic center gets artThe Santa Barbara County Community Services Department and the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission recently dedicated the Percent for Art Project in New Cuyama. Artist Douglas Lochner from Ojai created a public art piece for the outer west wall of the Joseph Centeno Aquatics Complex at 290 Wasioja St. The stainless steel patinated relief sculpture, Let’s Swim/Vamos a Nadar, is 18 feet long and is backlit by low-voltage LEDs that will make it visible at night. County Percent for Art projects allow one percent of construction costs from General Fund monies to be used for art in a county building. The dedication comes just as the county kicks off the summer pool season. Named in honor of 5th District Supervisor Joe Centeno, the aquatics complex features a four-lane, 25-yard recreational swimming pool, plus a wading pool with a water-play feature, shade structures, and restrooms.
