DISCUSSION ITEMS
• Update and discussion regarding the Semi-Finalists for the 2016 CIP
Thoroughfare Public Art Projects and Jury Process. (C. Ehrlich, PAAB Liaison-
Board)
Staff Comments
PAAB liaison Ehrlich reported the Thoroughfare CIP Selection Committee had chosen 4 semi-finalists for Sites#1
and#2. She explained the committee felt the best approach was to allow one artist to complete both sites to keep
relatability to the two entrances to the walking trails. The four semi-finalists are Jim Gullicci, Michael Clapper,
Michael Szabo, and the Tom Latka team. Site#3 located on East Brown near the Disc Golf Park had three semi-
finalists chosen by the committee. They are John Davis, Adrian Litman and Howard Kalish.
These artists will attend a two day visit to the City on June 27th and 28th to visit the art sites, tour the community
including the downtown area and ask questions of staff, selection committee members and attend a community
input meeting to be held at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers the evening of June 27th. This meeting is open
to the public to comment on the three art sites. Ehrlich asked that all PAAB members attend this meeting.
The artists will then return to their studios to complete proposals for the specific art sites they were chosen to
compete in. The proposals will be presented to the Selection Panel, PAAB and the public on August 25th at 7:00
p.m. also in the City Council Chambers.
Ehrlich showed a few of the past works created by each artist.
