• PUBLIC ART PROJECTS
Alpine Playhouse Plaza: Staff reported that the project is complete and that
unsolicited positive feedback has been received.
Art for Rotary Park: Staff reported the unique railings have been installed so the
public art project is complete. The park is still under construction as new retaining
walls and an ADA pathway to the lakeshore are installed.
Youth Arts: Cynthia reported that the three new"Hometown Art" mural panels are
installed on the Railroad Avenue retaining wall. The first original mural panel may
need to be replaced within the next year or so.
Lardo Bridge: The Committee and staff have identified placement of artworks on
Lardo Bridge as the next big project to pursue. The bridge has been engineered to
include sculpture pedestals at six locations.
• FUNDING
FY17 Budget: $25,000 in carry forward and new city general funds have been
identified for grant match for public art projects. Additionally, approximately$2500
has been set aside to help with public art maintenance costs incurred by the Parks
Dept.
FY17 LOT: A request for$10,000 to support art on Lardo Bridge was submitted. The
City Council approved $8,000 for public art, but it is within the contingency list, which
means it may not be realized, depending on what revenue is received.
NEA Our Town Grant: The City, in partnership with the McCall Arts and Humanities
Council, intends to submit a grant to the National Endowment for the Arts Our Town
program. The request will be for$25,000 to help support a new focus for community
arts education on the environment of Payette Lake and the community's relationship
with the lake. A professional artist would essentially be an artist in residence for a
short time and then create temporary and/or permanent public artwork for Lardo
Bridge that references the lake.
Claire motioned, Dave seconded and Committee members unanimously approved
submittal of the NEA grant application as described and authorized the Chair to issue
a letter of support.
• OTHER
Villa Plaza: Dave introduced a possible project at Villa Plaza on 3'' Street. The new
owner of the property is doing a face lift and would like to place artwork on the site.
The Committee can help with the artwork selection process, but does not have
funding to assist at this time. Dave will let the property owner know.
Committee membership:Alison has resigned from the committee due to other
obligations. Additionally, Cynthia's term ends in November and she will not seek
another term. Staff will advertise the position openings.
