The following people were present: Commissioners: Stephanie Sadler Tom Kramer Jenny Lundin Mara Sobeck Janis Bunchman Staff: Jennifer Cram Robb Woulfe APPROVAL OF MINUTES Minutes from the May 7, 2014, meeting were approved as submitted, as motioned by Tom and seconded by Jenny. APPROVAL OF AGENDA The agenda was approved as submitted. AGENDA Updates Public Art Program Updates Breckenridge Theatre Gallery There is no artist reception planned for June as the Backstage Theatre is dark. The next artist reception is scheduled for July 12th featuring the paintings of Leona Sophocles Brownson. Sculpture on the Blue Installation went well despite weather on Friday, May 30th. The last two sculptures were installed on Tuesday June 3rd. Signage will be ready for Town Party on June 13th and the brochure will be ready shortly afterwards. All agreed to continue to work with McGraphics since they have all the content and have done a good job in the past. The artists’ reception was well attended; all but two of the participating sculptors were present. The sculptors enjoyed meeting one another and the commission. All agreed that the reception was a success. The public reception is scheduled for Wednesday, August 6th during the regularly scheduled meeting. Jennifer will do a press release to share the diversity of sculptures and sculptors from around the country in this years show. Albert Paley “Syncline” Agreement The agreement has been finalized and Paley Studios will be sending signed copies soon. Jennifer has put in a check request for the first installment of $45,000. Albert Paley has also been confirmed for a visit to Breckenridge arriving September 25th and departing on the 27th. A public presentation will be organized during the launch of the Arts District on September 26th. Website Update Stephanie shared the new public art website, wwwbreckpublicart.com. The website features a map and photos of sculptures in the permanent collection and Sculpture on the Blue. Art Around Town Tours The subcommittee met prior to the meeting to review talking points to be able to assist in leading the tour. The tour starts in the Arts District on Fridays at 10:30 am throughout the summer. Participants learn about what is happening in the Arts District and then walk through Sculpture on the Blue and past several pieces in the public 06-04-2014 art collection. Tours take about an hour. Janis can cover most dates. A calendar was passed around to get Commissioners signed up for the remaining dates. Community Arts Updates Tom noted that the Summit County Arts Council (SCAC) would be hosting Meet the Artists again this year June 28th and 29th on the Riverwalk Lawn and in the Blue River Plaza. This event is the SCAC’s primary fund raiser and features local and regional CO artists. Discussion Items Roundabout Sculpture – “Environmental Art” and “Environmental Graphics” Jennifer has reached to Dan Snow, Chris Booth and Ilan Averbuch. After speaking with them about existing sculpture budgets, she learned that the budget for a large stone work is about $100,000 - $300,000 depending on scale. The Commission agreed that the original $100,000 budget was realistic. The Commission also agreed to move forward with having each of the sculptors prepare up to 3 sketches of proposals for the roundabout. Sketches will be due in August. Once the Commission has reviewed the sketches they will share them with the Cultural Arts Advisory Committee (CAAC) before going back to the Council. The Commission hopes to be able to share the proposals and make a recommendation to Council sometime in September. Jennifer also spoke with Elena Scott the landscape Architect and Mark Johnston from Public Works to understand the timeline for median and roundabout improvements. Jennifer was happy to share that there is still time to integrate an environmental piece into the roundabout with the existing timeline. The plan is to put the Civil portion out to bid this summer and start work in the fall. The concrete work will likely get completed fall of 2014 with landscaping completed in spring of 2015. The only thing that is set in stone (no pun intended) is the concrete work. Elena was excited to work with whomever the Commission recommends. North Main Street Park “Tom’s Baby” Sculpture The Commission agreed to follow the same process for creating a short list of sculptors as they did for the environmental sculptors. Each commissioner will do some homework and share with the rest of the commission at the nest meeting up to 3 sculptors that would be a good fit to create a larger than life bronze sculpture of a miner with “Toms Baby”. Each Commissioner will have up to 5 minutes to present. A short list of 3 sculptors will be created from the selection presented. Once the short list is created, the Commission will share it with Mike Dudick for input. Goebel Family Donation Jennifer shared the possibility of the Goebel family making a donation to commission or directly purchase a sculpture to be located near the new Speakeasy Theatre. The Goebel’s will be back in town in July. Jennifer will reach to them to try and get an idea of what resonates with them. The Commission thought that a piece that reflects the social nature of a theatre would be a good fit, but would like to know if the Goebel’s have any ideas. Annual Retreat The Commission agreed that it would be appropriate to attend the Loveland Sculpture Show in August to see all of the sculptures and to grow their list of sculptors that fit within certain genre’s. The tentative date for the retreat is Saturday, August 9th. It will be a full day. The majority of the commission present were ok with that date. Jennifer will reach to the other commissioners and confirm the date. Details for the retreat will be discussed at the next meeting. Action Items Action Items from October 2nd 2013 • The subcommittee will meet with Riverwalk Center staff and Public Works to discuss the relocation of the Nest.

  • February 25, 2019 Minutes
    ARTS AND CULTURE ADVISORY COMMISSION CITY OF PARK RAPIDS Minutes of February 25, 2019 Paul Dove called the meeting of the Park Rapids Arts and Culture Advisory Commission to order at noon Monday, February 25, 2019 at City Hall. Also present were Laura Grisamore, Lu Ann Hurd-Lof, Nancy Newman, Rod Nordberg, and city planner Andrew Mack After brief discussion, Laura moved a resolution recommending support to the City Council to implement the Ojibwe signage project for city owned buildings and parks. Rod seconded the motion. Motion passed. The project is identified in the City Arts and Culture Plan, Goal 3: Protect and promote Park Rapids historic and cultural assets. An extension of the Peace by Piece project has been discussed at the City Parks Board meeting as a proposal to place one 2X4’ screen and one 4X4’ screen to block public view of the utility box in Pioneer Park. The Commission is interested in the art work that would be used on the screens and will invite Chris Fieldsend and Kim Donahue to present a concept plan at a future meeting. The Parks Board supports submitting a Department of Natural Resources Legacy grant application to remodel the bath house in Red Bridge Park. About half the space would be for restrooms. Andrew is suggesting the other half could be used as a makers space or arts quarters with rental fees going toward the cost of weekend restroom maintenance, possibly year round. There was some discussion about what entity would manage the rental space. Lu Ann moved to recommend the City Council support the grant application.

D.C. 20560 www.aaa.si.edu/askus Transcript Interview BH: BETTY LOCHRIE HOAG BM: BUCKLEY MAC-GURRIN BH: Mr. Mac-Gurrin, you were one of the most important artists on the Projects which the Archives is studying because of the work that you did in the Los Angeles County Museum and also in the Los Angeles Hall of Records, where you did half of ten murals which are certainly some of the most interesting done during the Project. It involved more research and involved working with more of the Project groups that most others. But, before we talk about them, I'd like to ask you a little about your own life. Will you please tell us where you were born and when? BM: Well, I was born Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1896. BH: Of Irish-American parents? BM: Yes, yes. Both my parents were from Grand Rapids, and my grandparents were also. BH: Where did you go to school? BM: I went to parochial grammar school in Kalamazoo and then we moved out to Salt Lake City in 1912 and I went to Salt Lake High School for one semester and I went to All Hallows College for one semester. From there I went down to Santa Clara in California, and I went through high school down there and my first year in college at Santa Clara. BH: I see. And then you went on to the University of California after that, didn't you? BM: Yes.

Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abstract This thesis uses neo-Marxist theories of the state and their application to New Deal historiography as the framework within which to analyse the artworks produced under the auspices of the Treasury Section of Painting and Sculpture from 1934 to 1943 in Washington, D.C. Taking as its focus the murals and sculptures produced for the Justice Department, the Interior Department, and the Social Security Administration buildings it seeks to demonstrate how Section art reflected the twists and turns of the Roosevelt administration as it moved through the First New Deal, the Second New Deal, and the constitutional crisis in the lead up to war in Europe.

  • Public Art ELEANOR HOWE
    The Art of Public Art ELEANOR HOWE IN THE LOBBY OF THE NATIONAL GUARD MILITARY CENTER ON THE western edge of Raleigh hangs a haunting portrait of a young citizen soldier preparing for active duty. Wearing a casual shirt and a baseball cap, he faces a mirror, his back to the viewer. A newspaper lies open on the bureau below the mirror. “Guard Mobilized!” its headline shouts. In the mirror the man’s image wears fatigues and a flak helmet. For Major Danny W. Hassell, this work made from hundreds of tiny pieces of wood “goes to the very heart of what the National Guard is all about; I think you can imagine the thoughts that are going through this man’s mind.”1 V WHEN THE SUN BEGINS TO SET OVER THE campus of East Carolina University in Green- ville, the broad, brick-lined plaza in front of Joyner Library comes alive with sound and lights. Keeping time to a recorded drumbeat, water dances across the surface of a high wall adjacent to a clock tower. Below the tower rises a wispy fog, illuminated by subterranean lights. As the sun’s last rays strike the tower, a set of Untitled marquetry (hand-cut wood doors opens, a small pirate cannon rolls out and—boom!—salutes the evening. panel), by Silas Kopf, 1992, at the For library director Carol Varner, this interactive entryway “pulls people in and National Guard Military Center, makes them want to experience the library and the rest of the campus in a Raleigh. different way.”2 V IN WEST JEFFERSON A LARGE PAINTING OF MOUNT JEFFERSON SURROUNDED by rhododendron, columbine, trillium, and other native plants and trees has transformed a once-drab wall facing a parking lot on the main street.
