SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In keeping with the City of McCall Public Art Policies adopted by City Council June 29, 2012, qualifications from twenty-eight (28) professional artists from Idaho and its contiguous
states were reviewed for commission of artwork to be integrated within the interior of the Library Expansion Project. After extensive review and discussion, Joe Thurston of Site Specific
LLC was selected for the project at the unanimous recommendation of the City of McCall Public Art Advisory Committee and Library Board of Directors and an Artwork Commission Agreement
for the project was executed January 17, 2023. Pursuant to this Agreement, the artist has conducted a public input process including one-on-one interviews, online surveys, community
group presentations and a community open house event to inform the project final design concept. Mr. Thurston then presented the final artwork design concept to the Library Board of
Directors and the McCall Public Art Advisory Committee. Both bodies unanimously recommended City Council approval of the final design concept.
Artist Joe Thurston will provide a presentation of the final design concept during the July 13, 2023, City Council meeting.
