Call for Community Input – Davis Cemetery District Permanent COVID-19 Memorial
April 17 - May 17
The Davis Cemetery District is installing a permanent COVID-19 memorial at 820 Pole Line Road. This memorial will feature a walking path, art installations, seating/reflection space, and informational signage.
The Cemetery District has formed a Memorial Subcommittee and an Art Team to complete this project. The lead artist for this project is Davis local, Wesley Horn. Joining Wesley is Brenda Cibrian, Donna Lemongello, Ro Mottsmith, and Jennifer Nachmanoff. Work on the memorial pathway and archway infrastructure is already underway, planning for the mosaic and mural artwork is beginning, and we hope to have the project completed by September of this year.
We circulated an initial survey in March 2022 and received a small sampling of community feedback. Now, as we work out the design vision, we have a few brief questions that would help us in our goal to ensure the memorial honors and reflects the lived experience of our community.
A link to our brief survey can be found at the top of our COVID-19 Memorial page linked below.
