SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Idaho Commission on the Arts administers the Public Art & Cultural Facilities grant which encourages local, public, and private support for feasibility studies, renovation, or construction
of performance, exhibition, or artist spaces, for capital purchases for those facilities, and for public art projects. The planned sidewalk improvements on Roosevelt Avenue, funded
through the Community Choices for Idaho grant, offer the City an opportunity to incorporate public art. Staff proposes the public art be located near the Alpine Playhouse, to highlight
the cultural importance of that building and organization.
The grant requires a 50-50 match. The City of McCall has $10,000 in the Public Art line in the Community Development budget that would be directed as local cash match for the project.
Delta James, City Planner, and the Public Art Advisory Committee would be responsible for project implementation, and the City’s public art selection process would be used to solicit
artists and final design for the project. It is expected the project would be completed by June, 2015.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of a Public Art and Cultural Facilities grant for public art and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
