2009 Orchids & Onions jury comments:
"When artist Lynn Susholtz renovated the old North Park Produce building into Art Produce, her plans included a "pedestrian art gallery." The long and narrow space has storefront windows along University Avenue, where the art is part of the street, the art viewer is also on display, and the activity of the street becomes part of the experience of the art. Places like this are fundamental to the experience of walking in the city. Read more.

North Park Elementary School is sited at the corner of an 11 acre community park which includes sports facilities, a playground designed by Stone Paper Scissors and a recreation center where in 1995 Lynn founded an after-school multi-disciplinary arts program and continues to teach. This new elementary school was a community initiated project and part of the General Development Plan update for the park. Outdoor amphitheater and entry gates were designed in Lynn’s after-school art classes with 8-16 yr. old students, and community artists. Included were the design of a joint use School/City playground, mural, and color system for adjoining Recreation Center. In 1998 the project received an "Orchid" award from the San Diego County chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
