FRUITA FORMING COMMUNITY CENTER TILE COMMITTEE, Fruita, CO - The City of Fruita Arts & Culture Commission is seeking interested residents to explore and oversee a tile project for the new community center. The committee will recommend a design, theme and palette and will determine the cost of the project, timeline and the best method for installation to present to the Commission. The committee will also direct fundraising efforts for the project. The tiles will be painted by community members and then placed in designated areas both on the exterior of the building as well as the interior. The committee will be responsible for the entire scope of the project. The Fruita Community Center is scheduled to open its doors in January 2011. The tile project is expected to be completed after the opening as determined by the timeline established by the committee. Anyone interested in serving on the tile committee, please call Rob Cook at 858-0360.
