The artist team Michael Moonbird & Victoria Lyons were selected for the exterior public art commission. The team proposed “a glazed tile mural that will artistically reflect the history, vitality, and cultural diversity relevant to the aspirations of the Glendale neighborhood.” They will also create two benches which will be placed in areas to compliment the mural.

The Design Board also selected Kathryn Stedham who proposed a series of 5 paintings, approximately 60 x 48 inches, painted onto an aluminum “floated” substrate. She envisions “creating active, textured, organic spaces of the ‘roads and rivers’ as well as intermittent flat planes of color that will compliment the interior and exterior feel of the library, while allowing each piece to be informed by the varios cultures and places represented within the Glendale community.
