SUMMARY STATEMENT:
At the Council’s July 26, 2019 joint work session with the McCall Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC), the Council remanded the downtown public art project to the PAAC for artwork selection
and provided guidance for the project which is articulated within the Artist Call for Applications (attached) as follows:
Originate from a design process led by community input
Contribute to 2nd Street as the city’s center and a flexible event and gathering place
Highlight and celebrate McCall’s unique history, character and/or environment
Be interactive and/or functional to maximize community engagement with the artwork
Be durable, low maintenance, and appropriate for McCall’s climate
The artist selection process begins with issuance of a Call to Artists (aka Request for Qualifications (RFQ)). The PAAC recommends that the public art opportunity be open to individual
artists and artist teams, age 18 and over, living within Idaho or within a contiguous state/province (Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, British Columbia). Artists
living elsewhere that have a demonstrated connection to McCall will also be considered, however preference will be given to Idaho artists.
The Artist Call for Applications and diagram of artwork of selection process are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Public Art Advisory Committee to issue the Call to Artists for the downtown public art project.
