WAIVER 

WAIVER: All classes require the signature of each registering adult or parent or guardian of any minor(s). 

I give permission to participate in the following programs, including any associated travel sponsored by the City of 

Palo Alto Community Services Department, for myself and/or child as named. In consideration for participation in 

the programs, I agree to the following: I understand that participating in the programs is a voluntary activity that I 

am choosing to participate in and is not required. I understand that there are inherent risks in participating in the 

programs which may be both foreseen and unforeseen and include illness, physical injury and death. 

I understand that there is a coronavirus pandemic in effect, that the City will provide the programs in compliance 

with the guidelines of the Santa Clara County Health Order in effect and any superseding orders of the State of 

California with regard to the coronavirus, and that despite the City’s compliance with such guidelines, the City 

cannot guarantee that there is no risk of transmission of the coronavirus. I understand that participants will be 

required to use safety gear consistent with such health orders, including, without limitation, face coverings and 

hand sanitizer, and will be required to follow social distancing guidelines and other safety protocols. I understand 

that there are individuals who may be medically exempt from wearing a mask or face covering throughout the 

class. I also agree that participants must be symptom free (no coughing or fever) in order to participate in the 

program, and will not have been knowingly exposed to coronavirus within the 2 weeks prior to participation in 

the program. Additionally, I agree to ASSUME ALL RISKS of participating in the programs. I agree to DISCHARGE 

AND RELEASE (agreeing to make no claim and not to sue) and HOLD HARMLESS the City of Palo Alto, its 

employees, its agents, its independent contractors, and volunteers working for the City, from any and all liability 

for injury suffered by me or my child arising from or connected with these programs. I understand and agree that 

this ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK, DISCHARGE AND RELEASE, AND HOLD HARMLESS includes any claims relating to 

the actions, omissions, or negligence of the City, its employees, agents, independent contractors, and volunteers. 

If participant’s family member or someone in close contact with the participant (outside of this program) tests 

positive for COVID-19, or if participant tests positive for COVID-19, I give permission for the City to notify other 

people in contact with the participant (including other program participants, staff, and volunteers) that they may 

have been exposed to COVID-19. In doing so, the City shall not identify the participant or their family by name 

except as required by government mandates. 

I acknowledge that I have carefully read this liability waiver and understand the information herein, and that I 

agree to each of the terms and acknowledgments in this liability waiver.

Creative Attention: 

Art and Community Restoration 

January 22-May 21, 2022 

Creative Attention includes artists who present alternatives to our 

topsy-turvy world of stress and anxiety, through practices of mending, 

healing, restoration, belonging, sustainability, and resiliency. Some of 

the work looks inward— addressing past personal struggles with illness, 

addiction, and loss. Other artists turn their attention outward to connect 

with those who are suffering and to find solidarity in our shared adversity. 

Universally, what begins in the studio, alters the life of the artist, who in 

turn brings that change to the world. 

Alexander Hernandez, Beauty and the Binge, 

mixed media, 2020, 40 x 45 x 20 in., Courtesy 

of the artist 

The artists in this exhibition demonstrate their ability to tap into deep 

realms of the unconscious and release innate resources to persevere, 

recover, and heal others. Several look to nature as our ultimate example of 

eternal cycles—paying tribute to the cleansing aspects of water; the healing 

properties of plants; the language of flowers; and the interdependence of all 

beings. Some are teaching us about the remedies of stillness and 

meditation or offering comforting gifts of humor, memory, and tradition. 

By charting their own paths through adversity, these artists show us new 

ways of representing, processing, and ultimately solving the issues that 

surround us.
