CDM seeks resident artists
Children’s Discovery Museum of San Jose is accepting applications for its artist-in-residence program through Sept. 11.
Resident artists help youngsters draw, paint, sculpt and create in during 12-week artist-in-residence program in the museum’s LeRoy Neiman Art Studio. The fall residency begins in October and will be followed by a winter, spring and summer session. Each artist will receive a $1,500 monthly stipend.
Artists will be tasked with creating monthly hands-on art programs for children of all ages that will be facilitated on the weekends. The artists will have the opportunity to display their own artwork and will receive a portfolio of their museum work in photos and video to take with them after their residency is complete.

Redistricting success
The Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, or Midpen, has received kudos from a major statewide agency for its redistricting efforts. The California Special Districts Association awarded the South Bay agency the 2022 Excellence in Technology Award for its ward boundary redistricting project. Throughout the redistricting process, Midpen used interactive mapping tools to help keep residents informed and get public feedback. To view the tools, visit openspace.org/redistricting.
