2019- 2021 Napa Art Walk:
“Sense of Place” ExhibitThe City of Napa is pleased to announce the opening of the 2019- 2021 Napa Art Walk “Sense of Place” exhibit. The City of Napa will be hosting an Artists Reception on July 30th 2019 from 5-6pm followed by an open community Art Walk from 6-7pm. The guided tour will start at the corner of First and School Street, with presentations from the artists.
The aim of this installation series is to prompt the public to identify their own symbolic and literal relationship to the environment(s) in which they live, and to inspire a recognition or creation of experience tied to the place in which the artwork resides. A significant sense of place can motivate the individual and the masses to take ownership of their stories, to empower communities, and to spark understanding in our collective experience in shared spaces.
Learn more about the exhibit, the installations and more here and at www.NapaArtWalk.org.

Browns Valley Closed Between Partrick Road and Buhman Avenue
The City of Napa has closed Browns Valley Road in both directions between Partrick Road and Buhman Avenue as part of the Browns Valley Creek Emergency Repair Project. The project is anticipated to be completed this fall, and the closure will remain in effect until then.
With the heavy winter storms, Browns Valley Creek eroded its northerly creek bank, undermining the sidewalk at this location. In February, Public Works crews secured the location, making it safe for the travelling public by closing the eastbound lane of Browns Valley Road and making a safe passageway for pedestrians travelling to and from Browns Valley School.
The City Council then approved emergency funding for the design, permitting and construction of repairs.
At this time, the following detour is recommended for those traveling through the area:
Take Rowena Lane to travel between Partrick Road and Browns Valley Road, and to access Valley Glen Lane. Valley Glen Lane is open, but is only accessible from Rowena Lane.

Napa Valley Community Housing Home Sharing Match-Up Program
- A Story of Success
Denise* (provider) is a single female in her mid-sixties. She enjoys working out and is a professional personal trainer. She also works part-time as a Behavior Specialist. Denise is a Christian and wanted to make sure those interested in her home knew that was very important in her life. She was only interested in renting to another female because of the fact there was only one bathroom in her house. She requested $650 a month, plus $20-$40 per month for electricity, water, garbage, internet and access to the onsite washer and dryer. She was also requesting a $300 deposit. Denise really wanted to help another lady out and at the same time supplement her own income.
Leann* (seeker) is a single female in her fifties. She was budgeted to pay $800 for a room plus utilities. Leann works full-time at Home Depot and wanted to find a way to cut back on her monthly expenses which included her rent. She wanted save money to take a vacation to visit her son out of state.
These two became roommates and share common similarities because they are Christians, they like gardening, they don’t eat meat and both have sons about the same age. These are busy ladies that both stay active! Denise didn’t hesitate to offer Leann the room once she met her. Leann asked if she could bring her own bed and Denise had no problem removing the twin bed. Denise was very sympathetic to Leann’s housing needs by allowing her to bring four boxes from storage to be put in the garage; this helped so that Leann could save by eliminating her storage cost.
As of today, Denise and Leann are happily home sharing!
