2 2 How to use this research

These results are intended to provide a framework to explore options for public art in Frederick county • It is not intended to interfere with or impeded the creative process critical to the creation of public art but rather offer a framework for that creative process to thrive • Findings suggest there is synergy among Frederick county residents with respect to what public art should do for the community and what types of public art will have the greatest impact. However results also suggest there are differences among generational segments that should be factored into our public art strategy including: – Locations for public art – What public art should accomplish for the community – Types of public art that resonate within each generational segment • Understanding both the synergies shared and differences that exist among our residents will ensure the FAC’s Public Art campaign will be successful and thrive within the county

9 9 TURF Analysis

TURF is an acronym for TOTAL Unduplicated • This TURF Analysis uses Public Art interest data as a basis for building combinations Reach & Frequency

• TURF Analysis attempts to maximize the “reach”, or the number of residents who would be interested in at least one of the potential public art projects

• TURF Analysis examines all possible combinations of options evaluated in a potential offering TURF Analysis reveals that when “interest intersection” is taken into account, the combination of shows A and C result in the greatest maximization of “reach”

Examples of other public art that resonate with residents

20 20 Artwork References Frederick Should Aspire to • Attractive large-scale pieces like The Cloud Gate will bring the community together and encourage new visitors, as well as provide something that is fun, whimsical, and engaging. Incorporating interactive elements like the Love Locks in Paris is also worth exploring (recognizing the Paris govt. views them as a nuisance) • Public art work must speak for the community, both its history and modern identity, like the Crabtown Project which represents different views and ideas of , so the community will feel they can relate to the art

“Many cities feature large outdoor artwork and murals which provide a glimpse into what the city is about. Cloud Gate Reflective Sculpture The murals highlight local artists and are currently trending on social media. They allow people throughout the country to learn about the community with a simple photo.” Age 25 to 34 in Chicago, IL aka “The Bean”

“Art that is specifically tied to the history of our region or to the people holds a higher value to me… I think of the Spirit of Detroit statue or St. Louis arch as a reflection of the people is something to aspire to. We have a warm inviting socially conscious vibrancy in the downtown community - that's a good place to start.” Age 35 to 44

“In Baltimore they have a variety of crab sculptures with unique designs on them. This would be a way for Community-influenced Frederick to set ourselves apart and find a symbol that defines us and sprinkle it around the city.” Public Sculptures

“The sculpture around the Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore is so fun, somewhat interactive (climbable) and makes for some cool Instagram posts. I like feeling like part of the art - experiencing art instead of just looking at it makes it so much more memorable.” Age 25 to 34

“Anything that residents are able to add to creates an engaging artistic experience. My example would be the love lock bridge in France. Frederick does not have to emulate this exactly, but anything that gives residents a sense of interconnectedness and community is a good idea for a public arts project.” Interactive Installations Age 18 to 24

2. What public artwork have you seen elsewhere that is a great example of what Frederick should aspire to? Why? 21 21 Factor Analysis

A multivariate technique designed to identify a smaller number of underlying dimensions representing the interrelationships among a larger number of variables

What does it do? • Identifies a set of underlying dimensions (factors) which summarize the original set of variables • Estimates the relationship between the original variables and the factors These groupings (factors) reflect structure in consumer’s mind (i.e., how the public art examples • Prepares the original are ordered) set of variables for further analysis by Factor loads indicate how correlated the variable reducing is with the factor multicollinearity For our purposes, factor analysis grouped the public art examples together into a reduced number of independent factors that represent how residents think about these public art examples
