Little artists, big projects

Linda Ramos, who teaches two ongoing art classes at Hutchins Street Square, recently finished a mural at Washington Elementary school with the help of a half-dozen little artists from ages 5 to 13.

Ramos, who lives in Lodi with her two children, also paints and makes furniture out of wine barrels, and she has artistically painted a laundromat. She recently talked with News-Sentinel staff writer Jennifer Bonnett about her work in and around Lodi.

These are the kinds of programs the arts funding money should be going to and not $46,000 for another $5000 mural. Who gets to keep the profit of $35,000 or $40,000, the muralist, or does he kickback that free government money to those who give him that much for such a tiny mural. Someone please give me the real cost of this last $46,000 mural on Sacramento street? Why in such a horrible looking area?
