Request for Approval of the Sculpture in the Park
Invitational Exhibition
Project Proposal: Sculpture in the Park Invitational Overview
The Arts Commission’s Art in Public Places Ad Hoc Committee’s new
Sculpture in the Park Project will be comprised of 18 pieces of
original, high quality sculpture which will be installed throughout the
length of the new Civic Center Park. The sculptures will be on loan to
the city for a two year period starting with an exhibition dedication
celebration of the May 2014 one year Anniversary of the new Civic
Center.
A contracted project Arts Director/Site Manager will start the process
of Invitation Call for Entries to artists during September-November
2013 and will work with the Arts Commission Art in Public Places Ad
Hoc Committee throughout. They will select 18 pieces, plus 3
alternatives for presentation to the Arts Commission. Upon approval
by the Arts Commission, the selections will be brought before the City
Council for review and approval.
The Artists chosen will receive an honorarium of $2500 and will be
responsible for getting their approved sculpture to the site. All art
must be in compliance with the application guidelines, as well as, City
Policy I-11 Requirements for Permanent or Temporary Art
Acquisition.
Fiscal Analysis:
The fiscal impact of artwork honorariums, installation, staffing (Art
Director/Site Manager), stipend for curator, in-house
marketing/publicity, signage and maps, education and docent
materials, opening Artist Reception and insurance will be financed in
the 2013-2014 fiscal year. The total is projected to be under
$200,000.
