Discussion regarding art on city owned electrical signal boxes to give scholarships to art students at Collin County Community College,Wylie campus Board Discussion PAC Ehrlich displayed some of the ideas for art on electrical signal boxes. She explained that many cities were painting theses boxes to make them blend with the environment rather than stick out. This could be a multi-year project with art students from Collin College creating designs and competing for a $200 scholarship. The college would provide the paint and the entire class would assist the winning student in painting their designs. She introduced Erika Mcllney, professor of the art department at Quad C. Erika thanked the board for collaborating with the college and giving young students opportunities for scholarships. She explained that beginning in September of 2023 she would be having a guest speaker teaching the art of 2D. This will fit right in with the projects and give the students a chance to start 2D designing. Ehrlich explained there were 26 signal boxes and would take several years to complete the project. She was proposing three to start, in September of 2023. She explained that a selection panel made up of citizens and art professionals would serve on the panel. The board commented that they believed this was a great project and loved the idea of collaborating with the art students at the local college. Ehrlich replied that more information would be forthcoming as we get nearer to September. REGULAR AGENDA Minutes March 22,2023 Public Arts Advisory Board Page 2 4 04/26/2023 Item 1. 1.

The walking trails are located in a portion of the Texas Blackland Prairie region. The Blackland Prairie region extends from Sherman to New Braunfels, Texas. The Municipal Walking Trails are expansive and currently encompass three miles.There are plans to extend the trails into additional areas and add a dog park and splash park for children. Placement of the proposed pieces will be along the walking area of the trails. 7 04/26/2023 Item 2. Works should include creativity, resilience, hope and remembrance through sculptures of the Native American Tribes (specifically the Caddo tribes) that hunted the area; This will be a multi- year project with sculptures scattered throughout the trails. The two proposed pieces should specifically reflect the Caddo Native American Tribes and the items used by their people.An archeological dig was performed in 2009, prior to the city complex construction and reports from that research are available to assist artists. The budget for each of the two projects is $40,000. The fee includes: artist's fee, travel during fabrication and installation,Texas Certified Engineering Plans, materials, base construction, fabrication, transportation, documentation, insurance, permit fees (waived), and lighting.

Submissions of qualifications will be reviewed by city staff. The Art Selection Panel will narrow the field to 2-3 finalists for the projects.The finalists will be invited for a site visit, dialogue with the community,and if they wish, a period of time spent with staff. They will then be asked to develop a conceptual approach (Maquette) for the artwork and make a presentation in person of their proposal, for which they will be given an honorarium of$500.
