I. SUMMARY PROGRAM REPORT

1. Introduction

Established in June 2006, Houston Arts Alliance (HAA) advances the nonprofit arts industry in through public/private partnerships. The Alliance’s mission is to nurture, fund and promote participation in the arts in Houston and Harris County. On behalf of the City of Houston, HAA annually distributes nearly 200 grants to arts, cultural and community groups, and individual artists. In partnership with corporations and foundations, HAA also provides extensive services to the field through its nationally-recognized arts incubator program, organizational development and recognition awards, and career development for individual artists.

Additionally, HAA creates and maintains alliances among the arts and culture, corporate, health care, education, travel, entertainment, development and government sectors to further the impact of the arts on greater Houston, galvanize resources, create meaningful collaborations and ultimately strengthen the local economy through enhanced tourism and a broader economy.

The Houston Arts Alliance Civic Art + Design + Collection Management Program creates policies and procedures for the implementation of and administers funds for the City of Houston’s Civic Art Collection. Principle funding is authorized by the City’s Percent for Art Ordinance passed in 1999, requiring that 1.75% of the appropriation for an eligible capital improvement project is appropriated for permanent civic art.

2. Program Value

The total value of the Civic Art + Design + Collection Management Program on August 31, 2007 was $3,790,350.57, as the figure on the next page demonstrates. A detailed breakdown of this total value is in Appendix A which includes three accounting reports submitted by the Houston Airport System (HAS, a.k.a. the Aviation Department), General Services Department (GSD), and Convention & Entertainment Facilities Department (C&E) of the City of Houston.

This report presents a combined program value for two fiscal years—fiscal year 2006-2007, specifically from November 17, 2006 to June 30, 2007, and in part during fiscal year 2007-2008, specifically from July 1, 2007 to August 31, 2007. The report covers this time period because it coincides with the timeline of four civic art contracts currently administered by Houston Arts Alliance on behalf of the City of Houston, all effective November 17, 2006. HAA will administer four new contracts between November 18, 2007 and June 30, 2008. In chapters II and III, future civic art and collection management projects are discussed for the remainder of fiscal year 2007-2008. More detailed project information is presented in Appendices B and C.

Civic Art Capital Report, HAA, Nov 17, 2006—Aug 31, 2007 v II. CIVIC ART + DESIGN PROGRAM

1. Funding and Administration

Houston Arts Alliance (HAA) provides leadership and professional expertise in the development of civic art in the City of Houston, contributing to the quality of our environment and positive community identity.

The Civic Art + Design Program is funded by the City of Houston’s capital bond funds, the use of which is authorized by the City’s Percent for Art Ordinance passed in 1999. The ordinance designates that 1.75% of the appropriation for an eligible capital improvement project is appropriated for permanent civic art. Appropriation is calculated based on the cost of design and construction services.

Historically, four different entities have administered civic art in Houston prior to Houston Arts Alliance. Municipal Art Commission (MAC), founded in 1965, advised the Mayor and City Council on cultural matters including permanent and temporary civic art. Municipal Art Conservation Office (MACO), established in 1996, catalogued, conserved, maintained and promoted the city’s art collection. MAC oversaw all MACO work. Civic Art Committee (CAC) was set up in 1999 to oversee the new ordinance and recommend permanent art commissions under the auspices of the ordinance. Finally, Cultural Arts Council of Houston and Harris County (CACHH), founded in 1977, provided professional staff to support the Civic Art Committee and assist city departments in implementation of the civic art program’s activities.

During fiscal year 2005-06, the City merged these organizations to form Houston Arts Alliance. The Alliance unified these efforts behind one comprehensive approach to civic art and collection management, as overseen by a single board of directors to resolve duplication of efforts, establish stronger advocacy, and make better use of resources through efficient management.

The current Civic Art + Design Program is overseen by the Civic Art + Design + Collection Management Committee and administered by HAA staff, consisting of three arts and urban design professionals who provide specialized consulting services to the City’s departments and creative community. The Committee consists of HAA board members; advisors who are arts professionals; and city staff who are civic art liaisons between the City and HAA and non-voting advisors to the Committee. HAA’s scope of work includes permanent and temporary civic art, master planning efforts, and, importantly, collection management discussed in chapter III. As a nonprofit arts council, HAA contracts with both public and private entities, currently administering four contract agreements with the City of Houston.

Civic Art Capital Report, HAA, Nov 17, 2006—Aug 31, 2007 Page 1

2. Program Development

HAA began performing services for the City of Houston on November 17, 2006, with interim staff under the leadership of an acting director. Staff transitioned over the following eight months. A full staff division has been in place since September 10, 2007, with a director, senior project manager and collection manager/project manager, providing the City of Houston with professional expertise to commission new civic art and manage the City’s art collection in the best interests of the citizens of Houston.

3. Process for Commissioning Civic Art

HAA manages civic art projects on behalf of the City through a process that follows industry standards practiced across the country. Project management phases, summarized in the succeeding paragraphs and presented in a program status report in the introduction chapter, are as follows: Call for Artist, Search—Panel I, Search Panel II, Contract, Planning/Design, Fabrication/Installation, Closeout, and On Hold.

Call for Artist. Generally, HAA enlists artists in three ways—by a “call for artists,” the juried registry of artists, and by direct invitation. A call for artists announces commission opportunities and provides information on how to submit an application for consideration. An open call promotes projects by mail, email, and web postings on a local, regional or national level according to the budget and goals for the project. The juried registry of artists is a pre-approved pool of qualified artists established in 2006 through an open call and selection panel. In the instances of a direct invitation, either a group of selected high-caliber artists are invited to participate in a juried competition, or a merited artist is selected by the Civic Art + Design Committee and HAA staff as a consultant for a specific project. As the program status report shows (p. iii), there is currently one civic art project, Flores Neighborhood Library, in the phase of call for artists.

Search Panel I. HAA recruits an art panel of project stakeholders, including one community representative, a building owner/user, an artist, and two arts professionals. Artists and arts professionals are identified by HAA; a building owner/user is selected by a client department; and a community representative is chosen with a recommendation from the client department and a relevant City Council member. An architect for the site participates in an advisory capacity. Facilitated by HAA staff, the art panel meets to select three to five finalists based on qualifications. Finalists receive an orientation about the project and site. They meet with department clients, project stakeholders, and community leaders. Finally, they design a conceptual proposal for an artwork appropriate for the site. There are currently reported six projects in this phase: Kashmere Multi-Service Center; Northeast Multi-Service Center; Mounted Police Facility; Southeast Division Police Station; Sabine Street Water Pump Station; and Water Works Museum.

Civic Art Capital Report, HAA, Nov 17, 2006—Aug 31, 2007 Page 2

Search Panel II. At a second meeting, finalists present their proposals and are interviewed by the panelists. The art panel selects a winning finalist. The Civic Art + Design Committee reviews the art proposal, endorses the work of the panel, and recommends to the HAA board that HAA staff enter into a contractual agreement with the winning artist for the approved proposal. There are currently no projects reported in this phase.

Contract. HAA contracts with the winning artist to provide artwork based on the approved budget, design concept, and performance schedule. Two contracts with artist Kate Petley’s and artist Cameron McNall’s are pending in September 2007.

Planning/Design. Under contract, the artist develops the final design, including maintenance requirements and product durability. The Civic Art + Design Committee reviews the final design proposal before the project goes into fabrication/installation phase. There are three projects currently in this phase: Fire Station #8, artist Kate Petley (100% design will be approved by the HAA board in October); Convention Center, artist Cameron McNall; and Downtown Initiative, artist Cameron McNall.

Fabrication/Installation. Art work is constructed, engineered, or fabricated and delivered, and installed by the artist. There are two projects currently in this phase: Looscan Neighborhood Library, artist Bert Long; and Discovery Green Park, artist Margo Sawyer.

Closeout. HAA staff conducts a final inspection, provides documentation of the maintenance requirements, and submits a recommendation of acceptance to the HAA board and the City. Artist Long’s artwork is expected to be in closeout phase during winter 2007.

On Hold. There are currently five Airport projects on hold: Gordon Huether Project at Hobby Airport; Beads at Intercontinental Airport; Indoor Sculpture at Hobby Airport; Outdoor Sculpture at Hobby Airport; and Outdoor Sculpture at Ellington Airport.

From the beginning of the contract in November 2007, HAA has used the juried registry of artists and an open call for artists to advertise and gather artist qualifications for consideration for a total of nine new civic art projects.

4. Prioritization for Civic Art + Design

During the past two fiscal years 2006-07 and 2007-08, civic art projects have been prioritized based on need by relevant City departments. Most of the civic art budgets were listed in the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). However, capital planning for civic art has been ad hoc from department to department. This fiscal year 2007- 08, HAA will work with the City to create a five-year Civic Art Capital Plan commencing on July 1, 2008. The five-year plan will be based on department

Civic Art Capital Report, HAA, Nov 17, 2006—Aug 31, 2007 Page 3

priorities for capital improvement, and it will correspond with building projects preferably in design rather than in construction phase.

The document will aid inclusion of HAA in capital planning and facilitate artist selection early enough in the capital planning process, so the artist is on the design team from the beginning of each building project for which civic art is intended. Inclusion of artists in a design phase is a goal of the City of Houston and HAA, for it provides civic art projects with the greatest probability for success.

5. Civic Art + Design Projects

a) Summary Report by Jurisdiction

Houston Airport System (HAS): The Houston Airport System continued considering the art proposal by Houston artist George Sacaris (artist selected in fiscal year 2001) for the Consolidated Rental Car Facility at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

6. Future of Civic Art + Design Program

For the improvement of the Civic Art + Design Program in fiscal year 2007-08, HAA has prioritized the following objectives:

1) To create procedures and protocols to standardize HAA’s delivery process in line with the steps and oversight required to operate the capital civic art program funded with the City’s dollars; 2) To develop a consistent reporting system; 3) To develop a five-year Civic Art Capital Plan; 4) To update the juried registry of artists; and 5) To provide beginning and intermediate level educational workshops to City staff and Houston artists.

Civic Art Capital Report, HAA, Nov 17, 2006—Aug 31, 2007 Page 7

III. COLLECTION MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

1. Funding and Administration

The purpose of the Collection Management Program is to evaluate, appraise, conserve, and restore works of art in the City of Houston’s civic art collection. Funding for the program is appropriated by the City Council in accordance with the Percent for Art Ordinance of 1999. There are some historical bequest funds that were set aside by art donors to conserve specific artworks gifted to the collection. These funds are now managed by the Houston Arts Foundation, an offspring of the former Municipal Art Conservation Office (MACO) and Municipal Art Commission (MAC). City and philanthropic funding sources can be augmented by private donations. Donations can come as the result of efforts from the community to raise money for the conservation and restoration of public monuments. Volunteerism has proven to be of great help to the program, especially in the adoption of public monuments for routine maintenance.

The Collection Management Program is overseen by the Civic Art + Design + Collection Management Committee and is administered by Jimmy Castillo, Collection Manager with Houston Art Alliance (HAA). The program is governed by the Collection Management Policy adopted by the HAA board in May 2007. This policy document defines the scope of the collection, accession/de-accession policies, stewardship procedures, as well as policies for temporary art and art on loan. It also outlines protocols for policy review and change.

2. Collection Overview

This report marks HAA’s first year performing the duties of the City’s Civic Art Collection Manager. Prior to fiscal year 2006-07, MACO under MAC’s oversight had managed the collection. Initially, a large scale inventory of the collection was performed by HAA staff, upon assuming the duties of collection management. The inventory included the inspection and documentation of the artworks’ condition, which has been used to prioritize conservation projects. A collection management database was implemented in order to efficiently track the location and condition of the collection as well as to store vital data related to provenance and other information.

There are approximately 437 works of art in the City of Houston’s civic art collection. The collection is still in evaluation, but this number represents a major portion of the collection as catalogued by HAA and its predecessors, MACO and MAC. Among that total number of works, about 18 works of art are located at the , a private entity that is leasing its property from the City long term. Also, there are an undetermined number of works that have been acquired by the City, but not officially included (in other words, accessioned) into the civic art collection. There is still more research that needs to be done and more information that needs to be retrieved from the records of MACO currently archived at the

Civic Art Capital Report, HAA, Nov 17, 2006—Aug 31, 2007 Page 8

Houston Public Library. One way of achieving this goal is by conducting formal appraisals of civic art.

3. Appraisals

Professional appraisals of the City’s collection, usually sponsored by a city department in charge of a certain collection, is a way of discussing the value of that collection as well as priorities in assessioning, deaccessioning, and conserving works of art. There are currently two standing appraisal contracts administered by Houston Arts Alliance:

• Jesse Jones Central Library Valuation: Valuation for 162 works of art, with a statement addressing remaining works of lesser value, was completed this fiscal year by Evan Epstein of Fine Art Appraisal Service. The total value of the Central Library’s art holdings is estimated at $4,845,365.

• Parks Collection Valuation: Valuation for approximately 74 works of art citywide. An appraisal of the entire Parks and Recreation Department’s art holdings has been completed this fiscal year by Evan Epstein of Fine Art Appraisal Services. The total estimated value is $35,995,000.

As stated in the Collection Management Policy, deaccession is recognized as a means of refining and improving the City’s collection. The City may deaccession artwork with the recommendation of the HAA board of directors and approval of Departmental Directors and City Council under circumstances of: a) public or environmental safety problems; b) artwork that cannot be reasonably removed from City property that is scheduled for demolition or title transfer; and c) for the repatriation of cultural property.

4. Gift Policy

The policy for donations of artwork to the City of Houston’s Civic Art Collection is defined by the Collection Management Policy. Accepting gifts or donations of artwork is a way of growing of the city’s collection, but it translates into costs of maintenance and conservation. All gifts are subject to approval by City Council, the affected department, and a recommendation by HAA. For a donation of artwork to be considered, a donor must obtain an appraisal as well as an estimate of maintenance and conservation costs from a professional conservator. The City requires a donor to contribute to a trust fund in at least the amount necessary to recover ongoing maintenance and conservation costs of the artwork.

A priority for this fiscal year will be to determine a protocol that will allow the City of Houston and HAA to receive and review temporary art proposals or gift considerations efficiently.

Civic Art Capital Report, HAA, Nov 17, 2006—Aug 31, 2007 Page 9

For example, there is a proposal in discussion to raise private funds for an art piece that will be specifically on the theme of tolerance. The project is inspired by the tragedy of a young Houston boy who committed suicide after surviving a horrific assault motivated by racial intolerance. The proposal is being reviewed by HAA on behalf of the City.

5. Conservation

a) Process for Conservation

HAA manages conservation projects on behalf of the City through a process that follows industry standards practiced across the country. Project management phases, summarized in the succeeding paragraphs and presented in a program status report in the opening chapter, are as follows: Evaluation/Assessment, Contract, Conservation, Closeout, and On Hold.

Evaluation/Assessment. A work of art is identified by HAA for evaluation and assessment. The Collection Manager or appointed representative makes a visit to the site and conducts a condition report, recording any visible deterioration or damage to the work of art. HAA can make a recommendation to prioritize conservation based on this evaluation. If the condition report indicates there may be additional deterioration not visible, the Collection Manager may recommend an additional evaluation/assessment to be performed by a professional conservator. As the program status report shows (p. iv), there are currently five conservation projects, Water Tables and Bayou, Houston, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Vaquero, and Portable Trojan Bear, in the evaluation/assessment phase.

Contract. HAA recruits a professional conservator or appraiser who then enters into a contract to perform requested services. Conservators are identified by HAA based on the procedures set forth in the Collection Management Policy. There are currently two projects, Parks Collection Appraisal and Library Collection Appraisal, in the contract phase for the total value of $20,250.

Conservation. A professional conservator performs the necessary treatment and photo-documents the process. There is currently one project, Neuhaus Fountain, in the conservation phase.

Closeout. HAA staff conducts a final inspection, archives any documentation of the conservation performed, and submits a recommendation of acceptance to the City. There are currently ten projects in the closeout phase, WWII Memorial, Movement, Untitled (Totem Pole/Bird House), Cornerstones, Jones Hall Identification Plaques, Reinstall Earlie Hudnall Photographs, Geometric Mouse Scale X, Adele Briscoe Looscan Portrait, Edna Saunders Portrait, Light Spikes.

Civic Art Capital Report, HAA, Nov 17, 2006—Aug 31, 2007 Page 10

On Hold. Projects can be placed on hold if any unexpected circumstances prevent a conservator from performing conservation treatments safely and without further damage to works of art upon which he/she has been contracted to perform services. Works of art will not be conserved if HAA determines that there are environmental factors that could continue to damage the work and that cannot be resolved prior to conservation. There are currently two projects, Market Square Photos and Dick Dowling statue, which have been placed on hold.

b) Prioritization for Conservation

Conservation projects are prioritized based on condition assessments. The condition of a piece, its age, and any determined emergency drives prioritization. The rate of deterioration as it affects the longevity of the work of art is taken into consideration along with any safety concerns resulting from deterioration of or damage to the work of art. The artistic, historic, and financial values of the work are also taken into account when prioritizing conservation projects.

There is a shortage of qualified and credible conservators in the Houston area who are operating as independent contractors. HAA will be working with Robert Pringle through SAT, Inc. for many of the projects that were identified as needing immediate conservation treatment. Conservator Pringle is the only conservator in the Houston area who is qualified (according to the Collection Management Policy) to perform treatment on outdoor/monumental sculpture. However, due to that local conservator’s high demand and limited availability, HAA will be looking into the costs and logistic issues involved in hiring conservators from around the country in order to complete a portion of the conservation needs of the collection. Excessive temperatures, humidity, and other inclement weather can affect the application of certain paints, primers, chemicals and coatings. This means that some treatments to outdoor sculpture cannot be performed at certain times of the year due to Houston’s local climate, thus further limiting the availability of any conservator to perform work outdoors.

The majority of the conservation projects identified for fiscal year 2007-08 are the treatment of outdoor sculpture (see Appendix C). Therefore, HAA will be primarily working with is Robert Pringle. Aqua Profunda will require an art installer to install a piece of equipment, and Gemini II may require a lighting technician supervised by a conservator.

c) Completed Conservation Projects by Jurisdiction between Nov 17, 2006 and Aug 31, 2007—See Appendix C for individual project reports:

Houston Airport System (HAS)—George Bush Intercontinental Airport Grounds near Terminal D/E Light Spikes outdoor sculpture restoration underway Restoration completion tentatively scheduled for mid October, 2007 Conservator selected—Ben Woitena Budget: $363,000.00

Convention and Entertainment Facilities Department (C&E): Downtown in Jones Plaza, Cornerstones, by Natalye Appel and Associates Architects, underwent repairs due to wind damage. One of the canopy structures has suffered recurring damage due to a wind tunnel effect. The project consisted of welding to reinforce the steel structure, replacement of broken acrylic panels, and the installation of more substantial hardware. Zenith Construction provided the welding, and the panels were installed by Binswanger Glass. This project was funded by the City’s Civic Art Program.

Movement, a fountain at 912 Prarie containing artwork by ceramic artist Elena Cusi-Wortham, received replacement lighting with increased security deterrents after the original lighting was stolen. The lighting serves the dual function of enhancing the night time display and deterring vandalism to the artwork. This project was funded by the City’s Civic Art Program.

The Edna Saunders Portrait, by Charles Fox, located in the Green Room of Jones Hall, was restored. Edna Saunders was a founder of the Society for the Performing Arts. The conservation work included adjustments to the stretcher to take out slack in the canvas, and repairs to minor scratches. The project was performed by Whitten & Proctor Fine Art Conservation. This project was funded by the City’s Civic Art Program.

Identification plaques were fabricated for the artwork located at Jones Hall. The stainless steel plaques were fabricated by A-Cut-Above Engravers, and identify the artist, title, date of creation, donor, and City of Houston. The plaques contribute to the goal of educating the public about the City’s art collection. This was a pilot project that is planned to extend to the majority of the collection on display throughout the City. This project was funded by the City’s Civic Art Program.

Under the Auspices of the General Services Department (GSD):

Houston Public Library: Geometric Mouse, Scale X, an important early sculpture by Claes Oldenburg was relocated from the Jones Building to the due to the Central Library’s renovation. Subsequently,

Civic Art Capital Report, HAA, Nov 17, 2006—Aug 31, 2007 Page 12

the sculpture was restored by Ben Woitena of Conservation and Restoration of Sculpture, Inc. The new location will offer increased protection and visibility for the sculpture. This project began prior to the formation of the Houston Arts Alliance, and was consequently managed by General Services Department with consultation on the conservation project provided by HAA staff. This project was funded by the City’s Civic Art Program.

At McCrane-Kashmere Branch Library, sixteen photographs by Earlie Hudnall were reinstalled after being located during inventory. Installation services were provided in part by HAA volunteer intern David Thomas of the .

The Adele Briscoe Looscan Portrait, by , was restored by Whitten & Proctor Fine Art Conservation. The project involved repairing several damaged areas on the painting’s surface. Mrs. Looscan was a founder of the Houston Public Library, and the portrait is installed in the new library branch in her name. This project was funded by the City’s Civic Art Program.

Parks and Recreation Department: The WWII Monument, on Heights Blvd. at 11th St., created in 1999 by DCW Architects, underwent repairs to remedy damage apparently caused by vandals. The original fabricator for the project, American Stone Company of , repaired two broken granite slabs containing the names of WWII veterans. This project was generously funded by the Heights Rotary Club through the Houston Arts Foundation.

Fleming Park Bird Totem on Sunset Blvd. was restored by the artist, Fletcher Mackey, sixteen years after its creation. The sculpture is a functioning bird house influenced by totems of the Pacific Northwest. Mackey removed years of accumulated nesting material from the vacant nests, reattached a loose element, replaced deteriorated cypress components, and gave the steel base a fresh coat of paint. This project was generously funded by the Friends of Fleming Park.

6. Future of Collection Management Program

For the improvement of the Collection Managemetn Program in fiscal year 2007-08, HAA has prioritized the following objectives:

1) To explore how HAA on behalf of the City can build a revolving account for conservation of incoming new civic artworks. Including a contingency for conservation funding in the cases of sudden damage or prolonged neglect of an artwork is highly advisable.

2) To have a better understanding of the civic art collection and a better assessment of works in the collection. HAA needs to have a formal mechanism for determining which artworks are part of the collection and therefore are eligible for the allocation of conservation funds.

3) To examine the results of the valuations for the Library and Parks appraisals and to determine if there are any objects that are eligible for deaccession. HAA sees the need to procure and assess more appraisals/valuations for the remaining artworks in the collection whose value has not been identified.

4) To encourage volunteer efforts to maintain routinely existing works of art. HAA is preparing an educational campaign in City Hall and its departments on how to maintain works of art appropriately to prevent deterioration resulting in costly conservation. There is a need to revive and grow the Adopt-A-Monument Program in order to organize volunteers to help with maintenance and rejuvenate the sense of pride a community might feel toward a work of art or monument.
