Ehrlich, City Secretary) Staff Comments Public Arts Liaison Ehrlich addressed council stating that in April 2012, the Public Arts Advisory Board published a "Call for Artists" for the Downtown Mural Art Project located on the south facing exterior wall at 104 S. Ballard, Wylie, Texas. In response to that call, the City received 11 regional artist responses for the 12' X 60' mural. The PAAB selected an art selection panel to review the 11 artists and narrow the artists to three semi- finalists. The artists selected were: David Eden, Kyle Wadsworth, and Roger and Karen Nitz. These three artists were invited to attend a community input meeting to learn more about the City, downtown area, and what the public wanted to convey within the mural. The public spoke about the history of Wylie and the downtown area. They wanted to convey a sense of pride in Wylie and have something that would draw people to the mural and the downtown area. Ehrlich stated the Public Arts Advisory Board would like to publicly thank the selection panel which included: Lynn Grimes, Downtown Owner of Wylie Art Gallery; Margaret Robinette, retired City of Dallas Minutes June 26, 2012 Wylie City Council Page 3 Public Art Coordinator; John Pototschnik, National Artist; Gaynell Reed, PAAB member; and Ann Martin, resident of Wylie. Ehrlich announced the artist chosen unanimously by both the PAAB and the Selection Panel were Karen and Roger Nitz. She explained that the approval came with several revisions to the mural. Those changes have been made to the mural; however, some of the panel and board members are present to speak about the revisions prior to final approval of the art design. Ehrlich introduced Roger Nitz to present his mural proposal. Mr. Nitz gave a short presentation of his design. Council/Selection Panel Discussion Selection panel member John Pototschnik, residing at 6944 Taylor Lane, Wylie, addressed the council stating that revisions had been made to the design however the panel would like to see further revisions. He suggested the council consider tabling the item so the panel would have further time to work with the artist, Public Arts Board, and panel. Mayor Hogue asked council members for any comments regarding the mural, prior to a motion. Councilwoman Culver stated that she didn't mind the animation but would like to see the girl on the peddle car have a smile on her face. Mayor Hogue stated he would like to see some former business names on the downtown store fronts to incorporate part of the past retail, like the Housewright's Dry Goods Store and the Gallagher Dry Goods Store. He explained, back in the day, these stores were across the street from each other. The mayor also mentioned the barber shop which has been in existence for years. Mayor Pro Tem Spillyards suggested the selection panel, PAAB, and the artist work together in a work session to make final revisions to be brought back to council at a later date. Council Action A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tern Spillyards, seconded by Councilman Jones to table consideration of the final design and contract to commission the art for the Wylie Downtown Mural to a non-specific date to allow time for the artists, selection panel, and Public Arts Board to make additional revisions to the mural.
