PRESENTATIONS BY SEMI-FINAL ARTISTS
• Presentation and Review of the Finalist's Proposal for the Downtown Mural
located at Olde City Park. (C. Ehrlich, Board Liaison)
Artist Roger Nitz presented his revised sketch responsive to the comments made at the June 2, 2012
joint meeting of the board and panel. He explained that he was willing to make any further adjustments
the panel and board recommended. The changes included a train and bridge over Lake Lavon, several
peddle car children in place of the one large peddle car child; a skate boarder racing the train in the
forefront of the mural and many hidden onions, cotton balls and 125th designation, all specific to Wylie
throughout the mural.
Board members commented the design was correct with regard to the changes made and they were
pleased with the sketch. Some of the additional comments included specific store names and the July
Jubilee sign. Artist Roger Nitz stated that he would make the additional changes to the sketch and take
pictures of sections or the penciled sketch for a future color book for children. He would then paint the
maquette for presentation to the city council.
The Public Arts Advisory Board will meet June 19th at 6:30 p.m. to view the new revised design for
recommendation to the Wylie City Council.
