“Public art is art when it encourages and expedites connections between the private and public, the intimate place and the municipal space, the body and the community. There are moments of reflection when an image, or sound, or space allows individuals to embody, in a unique and often specific way, the vast and various issues of public life...” Patricia C Phillips. “Public Art: A Renewable Resource.”

Cultural PLAN www.surrey.ca/culturalplan CITYOFSURREY 14 Surrey Public Art Plan Fleetwood Park Gardens Mission Statement & Suggested Art Placement Map

Fleetwood Park Gardens was designed as a contemporary formal garden with traditional elements. Sections of the park are separated into ‘rooms’ and include a perennial garden with a pergola, bosque, entrance/meeting plaza, and woodland garden. Future developments will include a labyrinth and potential garden towards the south end of the site. The garden design utilizes simple geometric form with a strong north-south axis which will eventually run south from the middle of the labyrinth (center of the bosque).

The garden was and continues to be a collaborative project between Parks staff at the City of Surrey. The intention is to create a destination horticulture garden, a community garden, and a venue for small events. The horticultural displays are foremost, with other features meant to visually enhance the plant life. The key elements in the design of the gardens include a quest for elegance through simplicity, and the use of vertical components to celebrate and create interest within the horticultural context. Main focal points have already been established with bold colours and grand scale as seen in the entry plaza planters and the bright turquoise paint on much of the garden’s existing metalwork. Future development will look to compliment the existing site conditions with a strong emphasis on organic form and colour. Although the gardens reflect traditional European roots, the goal is to avoid direct representation and create classic design through contemporary means.

Fleetwood Park Garden Sculpture Collection Fleetwood Park is located along the south edge of 80th Avenue, between 156th and 160th streets. It has been suggested that the formal gardens within this park would make an ideal setting for the creation of a modest sculpture garden. Fleetwood Park Gardens was designed as a contemporary formal garden with traditional elements. Sections of the park are separated into ‘rooms’ and include a perennial garden with a pergola, bosque, entrance/meeting plaza, a woodland garden and a labyrinth. Future developments include a potential garden towards the south end of the site which may become a garden for meditation.

As artists respond to our times, they reflect their inner vision to the outside world, and they create a chronicle of public experience.”

Penny Balkin Bach, from Public Art in Philadelphia, Philadelphia: Temple University Press, Philadelphia, 1992.

These programs might offer opportunities for public art partnerships in the Town Centres. Town Centre Business Improvement Associations have expressed interest in partnering to create temporary displays. It is understood that lighting and computer-based installations often need to be replaced within five years.

26 Surrey Public Art Plan Criteria for Prioritizing Town Centre Public Art Sites For each Town Centre lists of possible sites for public art were generated by the community consultation process, as well as staff who serve on the Inter- departmental Public Art Team. Consideration for priority sites for public art in Town Centres include: contributing to urbanization, key developments initiated by the City, Town Centre proximity to private developments that have contributed to the Public Art Program, in addition to the criteria for sites for the Public Art Program described in the policy, such as transportation corridors. For Town Centre Public Art projects, those potentially funded with contributions from private developers, are indicated by an (*).

Enhancing Urbanization 33 “Art has a social impact, which has a civic impact, which has an economic impact. If we understand cities as hubs to facilitate exchange, and as places where cultures meet, then cities are places where meaning is created. Public artists interpret these new meanings and help us understand ourselves in the context of our city. Their art serves as a way to reorient ourselves within our surroundings time and time again.”

Civic public art projects are planned for The Private Development Public Art program will also be implementing public art projects on private implementation 2012-2016 as determined by property as well as contributing to the civic public art program reserve fund. The total projected investment the Build Surrey capital program. Major public of civic and private development funding for public art is as follows: art projects will be realized for these venues: 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Total • City Hall Total civic only 697,700 802,575 1,191,200 421,200 284,597 3,397,272 • Civic Plaza • Fleetwood Recreation Centre Expansion Total private 70,000 250,000 525,000 1,000,000 1,100,000 2,945,000 development • Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre • Guildford Pool Total 767,700 1,052,575 1,716,200 1,421,200 1,384,597 6,342,272 • Newton Recreation Centre Fitness Facility • South Surrey Recreation Centre Expansion (Fitness and Arts Space) The pilot year for the Private Development Program has demonstrated that the largest sums of developer funding are being spent on artworks to be located on private property. The public art reserve fund intended to establish iconic artworks in Town Centres is building slowly. Therefore the current formula and options for private developer contributions to public art will be reviewed before March 2013 with consideration to increasing the contribution to 0.50%.

Resources 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Total Estimated private 30% 21,000 75,000 157,500 300,000 330,000 883,500 development funds to pool with civic funds for public art in town centres

Enhancing Urbanization 35 “What people see as they move around our community is as important and as informative as what they read or are told about the place. Their thoughts and feelings are reformed every day as much by the sights around them as by formal education and instruction. Art in public spaces, … can draw our eyes and thoughts away from day-to-day cares and offer a momentary escape or refreshment. A work of art can convey a community's joy or sorrow, its history or beliefs or visions for the future.”

Enhancing Urbanization 41 Public art provides both intrinsic and instrumental value to a city. Not only does public art enhance a neighbourhood with its aesthetic value and by providing accessible, expressive forms by artists, it also serves its community in other ways. The presence of a public artwork provides an opportunity for learning and education. Its creation and installation creates jobs, and as a recognizable landmark or feature, it encourages tourism. By creating a sense of place, it also enhances the value of local real estate. Pride in a sense of place, also encourages a sense of citizenship.
