Shaun Kroes gave staff's oral report.
Commissioner Hoberg stated that she would like to see the artwork
located on the back panels of the shelters, as opposed to the side panels.
She shared her ideas of the types of artwork that could work in different
areas of the City. She also stated that she feels the project should be
divided between four artists rather than given to just one.
Commissioner Amador stated that she feels the specific location of a
shelter could determine what panels would be used to display the artwork.
She also established that the artwork could be something other than just
paintings and it could be designed so it can be removed if and when the
shelters are replaced. She stated she also agrees with using more than
one artist for the project.
Commissioner Schwabauer stated that she would like to see a theme
used that incorporates the historical aspect of the City, specifically where
the shelters are throughout the City. Each shelter could reflect what was
located in that particular area many years ago when it was farmed or
natural. She stated that she also agrees with using more than one artist
for this project.
Chair Blaugrund stated that he agrees with placing the artwork on the
back panels of the shelters and keeping the sides open for viewing. He
stated that perhaps the artists could assist with the type, location, and size
of the artwork, depending on each shelter.
Chair Blaugrund suggested that perhaps staff could explore the option of
using artists from local colleges.
The Commission and staff proceeded to discuss other topics, such as the
integrity of the shelters with the additional weight that may occur with the
artwork, what needs to be expected from the artists, as well as other
suggestions on the actual artwork and locations.
Hugh Riley stated that staff would put together a detailed report on all the
ideas discussed at tonight's meeting and present it to the Commission for
their review.
B. Results of the Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) for the Artwork Project at
Arroyo Vista Recreation Center. Staff Recommendation: Staff will give an
oral report on the results received for the above mentioned RFQ.
