All 2022 traffic box wraps are installed. The first design review panel meeting with
Sector 17 for the pool mural was held, and the artist will be submitting a
provisionally final design next week, with another design review panel meeting in
two weeks. We expect a final design for next full MAC meeting on November 10.
Five Mile Creek Pathway Trailhub public art – all artists have been notified of
outcomes, and selection panel’s final decision will be presented by Lizzie Taylor at
the next MAC meeting for approval by the Arts Commission. Mural Unveiling
events – Cassie is drafting media releases and agendas, Joe Borton will be invited
to take the Mayor’s place at Library unveiling due to Mayor’s unavailability, City’s
video intern took video with the artists and hopefully the media will pick them up;
Parks Identity Public Art RFQ – going out today or soon, open for 1 month,
evaluation through Bonfire, we can have up to 10 artists/organizations on the
roster, they have to score 80 or higher to qualify. Evaluators will include 2 MAC
members, two Parks members, one community public art expert. The roster could
be used for MAC public art projects, Cassandra will ask the Finance department if
they can help us enter scores in Bonfire.
3. Discuss: Signage Plaques for Murals
Signage needed for Meridian Cycles, unBound, Tully Park (2), and Meridian Pool.
See plaque on Zamzow’s mural. We need to consider size of the plaque and
location on the mural. Consider negative space on the sides. Size: 5”x7” or 4”x6”,
depending on size of the mural. Include the MAC logo (and host logo if applicable),
name of piece, name of artist, year. Ensure plaque materials are high-quality and
weather-proof. Include Braille on plaque. Plaque for Five Mile Creek Pathway may
go on interpretive signage (TBD).
4. Discuss: Next Steps for Sidewalk Poetry Project Idea Development
Invite St. Paul arts group to present at November 15th PAC meeting. Limit
discussion to 1 hour and leave 1 hour for further discussion if needed (2-hour limit
in budget). If they’re not available, cancel 11/15 PAC meeting and reschedule for a
time/date the arts group is available.
5. Planning: Discovery Park Public Art Project
Gas lines under selected green space, which will limit depth underground
(foundation for freestanding piece). The PAC decided to select artists and let them
work with Parks and Rec to identify the appropriate location, including a virtual or
in-person site tour. The PAC decided to see which artists are selected for the roster
before deciding whether to use one of them or release a separate RFQ for this
project. Note: discuss potential public art project at new fire station/police station
next to Discovery Park.
