That's why a California city is paying thousands of dollars to an artist so she'll correct the words she misspelled on a giant mural in the entryway of the new main library.
Eleven of the 175 words and names are misspelled, including Vincent Van Gogh, Michelangelo and Einstein.
Artist Maria Alquilar was initially paid $40,000 for the mosaic. Now, the city will pay another $6,000 plus her travel expenses from Miami for her to correct the work.
Alquilar blames city leaders for not catching what she calls "oversights."
*****************************
So first they pay this lady $40k to paint a mosaic, then she misspells words & now she gets another free trip to California *and* an additional $6k? Sounds like a good racket if you're intentionally misspelling words (not saying she was...). There's no way she should be paid to fix her mistakes! She blames city leaders for not catching it? How about blaming yourself for sucking at SPELLING!
