OVERVIEW:
The Meridian Parks Et Recreation Department (MPRD), in partnership with the Meridian Parks and Recreation
Commission (MPRC) and the Meridian Arts Commission (MAC), seeks to establish a list of artists who would work with
the City to develop interpretations of park identities and create public art projects in local parks. Currently, the focus
is on integrating artistic components in Champion Park, Renaissance Park, and Heroes Park - three existing
neighborhood/community parks in Meridian, ID. Examples of public art components may include murals, benches,
sculptures, functional bike racks, story walks, etc. MPRD would also like to be able to consult with artists to develop
creative components that would strengthen the identities of future parks.
MAC requests eligible artists and organizations to submit qualifications for the Park Identities Public Art Roster. The
Park Identities Public Art Roster - a list of pre -qualified, professional artists and organizations - will be a tool used by
MPRD and local commissions to select artists to collaborate with. Successful applicants may remain on the Park
Identities Public Art Roster for three years. Artists and organizations selected form the roster will be asked to enter
into Professional Service Agreements with the City setting forth specific conditions, compensation, and scope of work.
Selection to the roster is not a guarantee of work.

rosters.

materials and information to MAC in order to be considered for selection.

KEN MCCALL
S C U L P T O R
The announcement of the Park Identities Public Art Roster gained my interest immediately as
I have lived in the Treasure Valley for over 24 years, and am enthusiastic over the increasing
amount of public art being placed throughout our community. Artists on the roster will have the
opportunity to not only help bring individual works of art to life but also create an enduring
collection that will unify neighborhoods and community parks. The skills needed for this
position; creative design, meticulous craftsmanship, solid outdoor fabrication, practical
experience with permanent materials, and teamwork with design professionals; are skills that I
have been employing on many individual installations internationally.
My own personal expression of art is contemporary metal sculpture. These works are often
inspired by natures clean flowing lines and natural forms. The materials I work in most often are
aluminum and stainless steel which is extremely versatile for lasting outdoor installations. My
20 years of professional fabrication have given me the experience to work within a designated
budget efficiently with the materials best suited for the setting. I am very quality -oriented, take
pride in my workmanship and am confident in executing various projects on time and in budget.
My fabrication skills, honed for many years in the aerospace industry, have allowed me to
collaborate with a number of Boise's artists in creating multiple public art installations for our
city. I am often the top pick of architects, artists, designers and engineers to bring metal visions
to life. I have been the "go to" metal smith for Mark Baltes, Anna Webb, Reham Aarti,
Stephanie Inman, Leslie Dixon, Susan Madacsi, Trademark, and Forge Signworks as well as for
the City of Boise to help maintain existing artwork.
Collaborating with artists has allowed me to lend my expertise in design approach, materials,
and fabrication methods to projects in order to make sound permanent outdoor installations.
These projects often require working with architects, contractors, engineers, neighborhood
associations and city planners in a team effort. The resulting art is a combination of artistic
vision, solid craftsmanship, and careful integration of the piece in the natural setting. These
collaborations have also given me the experience of designing with artists who use mediums
different than my own, opening up the possibilities for presenting different kinds of public art.
I believe that my own artistic vision, years of professional fabrication and my local
collaborative working experience combine to make me a unique candidate. I can easily flow
from working with the team professionals in creating a unified artistic direction to creating
enduring artistic components. This is an exciting opportunity to bring the best possible art out of
our community into Meridian's parks.
Thank you for your consideration,
