Will master plan suggestions by the architects be used in the placement of the art? What recommendation if any will staff make for the theme to be used for art? This theme should be very general and broad leaving artists open to interpretation. Will one theme resonate throughout all art pieces or be different with every selection. What will the cost and design for the base/accessories be,for the Herk van Tongeren sculpture Where is the ideal spot for this sculpture? Funding for the Municipal Complex- 1% City Hall Facilities $132,116 Library Facility $119,276 Recreation Center $151,417 Total $402,809 Less Herk Piece Consulting $4,000 Transportation $ 6,300 Storage $4,000 Installation/Base $ 3,500 $17,800 Consulting Continue limited consulting with Sharon Leeber narrowing the scope of work. Last two projects ran approx. 10%of the budgeted funding. RFQ for consulting services with specific scope? Using consultant and sending calls for RFQ to additional artists through the public art posting sites using artist registries/RFQ format from Dallas, Fort Worth, and Frisco. Art Selection Process Call for Artists A call for artists will be completed using one or more of the options above.The call will give the general budget (leaving funding out for both consulting and maintenance, contingencies) and a general theme. The budget is large enough to call national and or internationally. Once the deadline has passed, each artist will be reviewed from photos of previous work, resumes and possibly drawings of what the artist envisions for the site(s).These submissions could be very large which may take several meetings to narrow the scope of artists to a shorter list. The shorter list would then be presented to the art selection panel who would narrow to 2-3 artists which would then be recommended (ranked)to the PAAB. Each artist would present their work and art processes.The PAAB would then present 2 of the artists (for each site) as recommendations to the Wylie City Council who would make the final selection. This (these) artist(s)would collaborate with key staff and PAAB to determine the final art design(s). Depending on the choice of art spaces,the call could be completed for all spaces at the same time, but different artists selected for each art site. Art Selection Panel/Short List Panel Margaret Robinette,founder of the Dallas Cultural Arts District(Program) and art coordinator for the City of Dallas and the DCAD for the past twenty years, now retired, has offered to serve on our selection panel as well as assisting in the selection sub-committee for compiling the short list to be viewed by the art selection panel. Christine Eubanks,Art Coordinator for the City of Plano has offered to serve on the artist selection sub-committee.The art consultant would also be included in these meetings.This gives a broader opinion of all art that is submitted and makes the process less subjective by all. Select members of the PAAB could also serve on this committee. Staff Recommendations and Suggestions Art Space(s) Place the largest art site in front of the Recreation Center in the grass area between the parking sections. Place in the center area closer toward the buildings. Select a second piece to go behind the breezeway between the Library and Recreations Center that can be seen through the breezeway opening from the front. Possibly add a third piece later if contingency, maintenance allotments remain and will fund. Budgeting for the Art Pieces Total Budget $402,809. Less Herk Piece $20,000 Less Maintenance (15%) $50,000 Less Limited Consulting(8%) $26,000 Less contingency(5%) $15,000 Total Balance for Art $291,809 Main Art Space 70% $204,266 Secondary Art Space 30% $ 87,543 Artist Direction for Call for Art Main Art Space • Art should fit the scale of the three buildings • Art should complement the natural architecture of the buildings and open spaces of the area • Existing sculpture on the site should be considered • Art should be creative but understandable to the viewer Secondary Art Space • Art should complement to open space behind the art and buildings adjacent to the art • This space(meadow area behind)will be used for gatherings of citizens and public events • Art should complement the existing art and be easily identified and understood.
