Public Art in Stockton -
Stockton Arena
248 W. Fremont Street

February 2006

30,000 Mattell cars make up this piece of art on the west side of the Stockton Arena parking garage. The cars are epoxied and urethane sealed onto 4ft X 8ft sections. The colorful pattern of the mounted cars covers about two thirds of the metal screen.

Napa artist Gordon Huether was commissioned by the City to create this art. Heuther was awarded the commission by the Public Art Jury in 2004, after winning a competition for the project.

The cost of the project was $135,000. It was funded in accordance with the 2 percent for public art ordinance for redevelopment projects and capital improvement projects within the City.

This is what 30,000 Mattell cars looks like!
