The organization said the money would go toward mosaic materials, insurance, permits and maintenance, among other costs.
Mosaic artist Kim Emerson designed the "Kaleidoscope of Butterflies" and is transferring it to the city’s civic art collection.
Emerson has created mosaic art in San Diego since 1991. Her work can be seen throughout the county, the nation and the world.
The juxtaposition of the artwork highlights the relationship of the urban vs. the natural environment in Normal Heights, officials said.
