III. Lowertown street art mural update (M. Reason)
Lowertown neighborhood completed street art project. It was a win for
beginning the process of approving art in public spaces.
Next steps: committee
Katie Axt - city perspective: implementation of first intersection mural went
well. City services, community, artist collaboration on design, very smooth
positive experience. Thrilled with results. Want to do more. Does the council
agree that another mural would be valuable. More diverse design proposals:
how do we get that and move it forward? Maybe show how the council
supports artists to do projects like this. S. Stamper will write a card to thank
artist members for their work on the proposal and project. Michael Terra, Char
Downs, John Romang, LTNA officers to receive cards.
Public art committee will talk about this process at the next meeting.
Meetings:
We may meet in person
We will check our schedules to see if we can change the day we meet.
IV. Public Art Project -
A. Cochran presented a letter the Terras submitted generally outlining their
MANY HANDS public art project which they wanted the Council to consider.
As our Council is still in the planning stages of codifying our process, A.
Cochran will reach out and thank them for their energy and interest and that at
this time, we are not moving forward with reviewing individual project
proposals, until we are further along in our process.
