TITLE: Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park — Phase V
ABSTRACT:
At their February 13 regular meeting, the City Arts Commission recommended ten
sculptures and three alternates for exhibition within the Civic Center Park for the City
Council's consideration and approval. If approved, the ten sculptures will be on display
for a two-year period, with installation commencing May 2020.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Approve the ten sculptures, three alternates and the proposed locations within Civic
Center Park as recommended by the City Arts Commission for the temporary
sculpture exhibit.
FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The City has received a State of California Department of Parks and Recreation Local
Assistance Specified Grant Funding in the amount of $500,000 for the Civic Center Park
Sculpture Exhibition, which will fully fund this project on a reimbursement basis. The
Phase V project is budgeted at $141,436. The grant funds from the state will also cover
Phase VI and concrete repair and rehabilitation needs at the site.
DISCUSSION:
The Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park is an integral feature of the Newport Beach
Civic Center. Civic Center Park, which turned nearly half a million square feet of
undeveloped land into a new public park, was designed by renowned landscape
architectural firm Peter Walker and Partners (PWP). PWP developed a master plan for
art in the park and identified various locations in the park where sculpture may be
exhibited.
Sculpture Exhibition in Civic Center Park — Phase V
March 10, 2020
Page 2
The City Arts Commission determined that a rotating exhibition was an optimal approach
to bring sculpture to the City in a cost-efficient manner. Since August 2013, the Newport
Beach City Council has had a rotational sculpture exhibit in Civic Center Park.
The acquisition program that the City Arts Commission developed for the exhibition
created a model in which pieces are loaned for a 2 -year period (or "phase"). Sculptors of
works chosen for the exhibition are provided with a small honorarium to loan their work
to the City. The City is responsible for installing the art, while sculptors are responsible
for the maintenance and repair of their work. Admission is free and the exhibition
continues to be enjoyed by residents and guests of all ages and sensibilities. In essence,
the exhibition has become a "museum without walls" that offers the temporary display of
public art in a unique, naturalistic setting. Moreover, the City is able to exhibit a
well-balanced representation of public art, with artistic merit, durability, practicality and
site responsiveness as criteria in the selection of work. The rotational nature of the exhibit
ensures that residents and guests are exposed to a variety of work. Borrowing the pieces
remains a cost-effective alternative to owning and maintaining permanent public art.
The project team includes Mr. Richard Stein, President and CEO of Arts OC, Professor
Joe S. Lewis, former Dean of the University of California, Irvine's Claire Trevor School of
the Arts, Mr. Nicholas Thurkettle, Program Assistant for Arts OC, and Ms. Cindy Frommelt
of Display Inc., a company that specializes in art installation.
A call for entry was opened in January 2020 and 66 sculptors submitted works. The call

Public Participation/Selection Process
In order to provide the public with an opportunity to help with the selection process, the
City Arts Commission conducted an online survey that invited the public to select
individual works for inclusion in Phase V (Attachment C). The survey was sent to all library
emails (20,000+), and a press release was run in the Daily Pilot/LA Times, Patch and the
Newport Beach Independent. All 66 entries were included in the survey and participants
were asked to choose their top three favorites which were all equally weighted. The
results of the survey included 2,343 votes from 1,084 voters. In Phase IV, there were
1,601 votes.
The February 13, 2020 regular City Arts Commission meeting allowed the public another
opportunity to express their preferences on the works of art. In addition to the public at
this meeting, the meeting included a curatorial selection panel who provided additional
input into the process. This panel included:
• The Arts Commission
• David Michael Lee. Mr. Lee is Director and Curator of the Coastline Art Gallery
at Coastline College in Newport Beach, where he also teaches art.
• Tyler Stallings. Mr. Stallings is the director of Orange Coast College's Frank M.
Doyle Arts Pavilion.
The curatorial panel assessment included the following:
• All top -scoring artworks in the online public survey were considered and discussed.
Additional information provided in application such as a statement of interest and
resume were used to help narrow down submissions.
• Works were considered in light of the following criteria:
o Artistic Merit:
• Artwork is of high quality and demonstrative of originality and artistic
excellence.
• Artist has strong professional qualifications.
o Durability:
• The artwork is made of high-quality materials, which can
withstand the natural outdoor elements of coastal Southern
California.
• Artwork requires minimal to no maintenance.
o Practicality:
• Artwork is of appropriate subject matter for audiences of all ages.
• Artwork is safe and shall not exhibit unsafe conditions or factors
that may bear on public liability.
o Site appropriateness:
• Artwork is suitable in scale to be seen in environment.
• Artwork is suitable for viewing from all angles.

Alternate — CAC/jury selection
The City Arts Commission considered the top 15 works favored by the public for inclusion
in the exhibition. However, four of the top 16 works were disqualified because of shipping
costs and high honorarium requests. The City Arts Commission considered the piece,
Hideaway Trellis, a potential climbing hazard. The piece is also covered with living
vegetation, which poses potential maintenance issues. The sculpture, Little Swimmer,
was submitted as a maquette and was thus disqualified. The City Arts Commission and
curatorial panel ranked TipSee lower than Peace Arrow and selected the latter. The
public closely ranked the remainder of the surveyed works and the City Arts Commission
opted to rely on the assessment of the curatorial panel for Link of Humanity, Seated
Diana, Marble Shooter, and Prime Mover. The piece Koi Pond was highly ranked by the
public but may be difficult to place in the park and was selected as an alternate.
The consulting team and City staff from the Public Works Department and the Library
reviewed the proposed locations for each piece, based upon site sensitivities, scale, and
impact of work. Staff also submitted the selections and locations for review by Risk
Management and Public Works staff to identify potential public safety concerns.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
