Public Art in Stockton - 'The Calaveras'
Municipal Utility Pump Stations

In a project designed to foster community participation and support and showcase ecological accomplishments, Wowhaus, the artist team of Scott Constable and Ene Osteraas-Constable, worked with students at Claudia Landeen Elementary and Amos Alonzo Stagg High schools to design images and glaze tiles for a large, colorful exterior art installation on two Municipal Utilities pump stations on Brookside Road. The pump house art installation has transformed the buildings into a striking visual metaphor for a healthy river and ecosystem. 'The Calaveras' is a unique corrugated tile mural that features two spliced images on each wall for a dynamic, ever-changing effect. Students in Stagg High art classes and GATE students from Claudia Landeen gained inspiration from field trips to the nearby Calaveras River, in addition to their association with a professional artist team.
Thirty-five artists applied for this project and Wowhaus was selected from a group of five finalists.  The jury selection for the pump station project consisted of:
Tom Bowe, Public Art Advisory Committee Robert Aldrich, Art Department Chair, A.A. Stagg High School Nancy Martin, Vice Principal, Claudia Landeen Elementary School Veray Wickham, Community Representative Gwen Witsaman, Artist William Wilson, Artist/Art Professional Ed Formosa, Deputy Director, Water and Collection Systems Michael McDonald, Senior Plant Maintenance Supervisor
