SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In keeping with the City of McCall Public Art Policies, adopted by City Council June 29, 2012, a volunteer
selection committee recently reviewed qualifications from eight (8) professional artists from Idaho, Oregon,
Washington, Montana, and Utah and unanimously chose finalist artist Susan Madacsi of Boise, Idaho, for
commission of public artwork to be installed on Lardo Bridge. The artist selection committee included
representatives from the McCall Arts and Humanities Council, Idaho Transportation Department, McCall
Rotary Club, McCall Public Art Advisory Committee and local professional artists. The City of McCall
Public Art Advisory Committee also unanimously recommended the selection of Susan Madacsi to City
Council for the project.
This public art project is funded by a National Endowment for the Arts Our Town grant ($25,000) received
by the City and matched by City general fund allocation for public art ($25,000). The artist's scope of work
includes preparation of at least two design concepts that will be publically vetted so that Council can make
an informed decision on the final design, fabrication, and installation of the public art project (see Scope of
Work in attached Artwork Commission Agreement).
The Artwork Commission Agreement has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is attached. Also attached
are the Call to Artists issued to solicit qualifications from interested artists and Susan Madacsi's resume.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the Artwork Commission Agreement with Susan Madacsi and authorize the Mayor to sign all
necessary documents.
