SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Cynthia Dittmer and Alison Foudy, Visual Art and English teachers at McCall Donnelly High Schoool, have collaborated on a project called “Hometown Art,” funded by a grant award from
the McCall-Donnelly Education Foundation. Throughout this school year, high school students have mentored 2nd and 4th graders in the creation of visual and written artworks. Ms. Dittmer
and Ms. Foundy propose to professionally photograph the student artworks, print the photos onto self-adhesive vinyl, then install the images as temporary public artworks for approximatelly
one year in the City’s bus shelters. The vinyl artwork images would be installed in such a way so people waiting for the bus retain clear visiblity of the approaching vehicle.
In keeping with the McCall Public Art Policies adopted by City Council (June 29, 2012), the “Hometown Art” public art proposal was reviewed by the City of McCall Public Art Advisory
Committee at its April 14, 2015 meeting and unanimously recommended to City Council for approval.
The City of McCall Parks and Recreation Director has reviewed the proposal and has no concerns. Parks and Recreation staff will monitor the bus stop installations as part of regular
maintenance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve installation of the “Hometown Art” public art project in the bus shelters for a period of one year.
