AMP up OKC INTEGRATING ARTWORK and the IDEAS of ARTISTS an Art Master Plan for the City of Oklahoma City Gail M
AMP UP OKC INTEGRATING ARTWORK AND THE IDEAS OF ARTISTS An Art Master Plan for the City of Oklahoma City Gail M. Goldman Associates, 2015 In June 2013, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) announced its award of an “Our Town” grant to the Cultural Development Corporation of Central Oklahoma. The NEA grant is dedicated to support an art master plan to successfully implement and leverage the City of Oklahoma City’s One Percent for Art Ordinance. The ordinance, passed in 2009, requires that one percent of construction budgets for buildings and parks be allocated to public art. Developing an art master plan provides procedural guidance and policy recommendations for reviewing and commissioning public art in Oklahoma City. A Task Force was appointed to select a consultant and guide the process. The Task Force reported regularly to the Oklahoma City Arts Commission and the Cultural Development Corporation of Central Oklahoma. The Art Master Plan (AMP) seeks to improve the artist selection process, maximize artistic quality, and engage the broader arts community in planning for public art. Art Masterplan (AMP) Task Force: Arts Commissioners: Elizabeth Eickman, Co-Chair James Loftis, Chair Jim Hasenbeck, Co-Chair John Seward, Vice-Chair Alexis Akard Paul Sweeney, Secretary Stan Carroll Allison Bailey Lori Carroll Bryon Chambers Meredith Gresham Terri Cooper Michael Hatcher Peter Dolese Robbie Kienzle Elizabeth Eickman Julia Kirt Gary Good Deborah McAuliffe Senner Jim Hasenbeck Amber Sharples Steve Hill Clint Stone Scott Howard Anna Thomas Stephen Kovash Debby Williams Connie Mashburn Michael Owens Cacky Poarch City of Oklahoma City Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs Staff: Robbie Kienzle, Arts Liaison Alexis Akard, Artist in Residence Michael Hatcher, Artist in Residence Anna Thomas, Artist in Residence Prepared by: Gail M. -

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff.
