Petaluma is Plugged In Thanks To Two Petaluma Artists

The power building downtown is actually a historic site built in the 1920s. PG&E wanted to give the building a face lift.

PG&E wanted to give the building a face lift so they did a fantastic job giving it a new clean coat of paint. They also wanted to work in cooperation with a local artist Joel Ganglia of Basal Ganglia Studio to do something, well… different. Ganglia worked with structure fabricator Shawn Thorsson of Thorsson & Associates Workshop to build a gigantic plug and electrical outlet on the side of the building. So literally, at least in appearance, Petaluma is plugged in.

On Saturday the area was coned off for an artist reception held in the adjacent courtyard with live music.
