REVIEW OF GRANT WOOD NEIGHBORHOOD ART PROPOSAL
Harper and students presented the Grant Wood Neighborhood Art proposal to the group.
Robinson suggested a few changes based on his staff's experiences with similar art at
Pheasant Hill Park, including making the tops more difficult to vandalize. Harper agreed the
shape of the concrete was important and said they were flexible with that design. Harper
proposed a time frame and said that most of the work could be done at City High as an
after school program. Fosse asked how the column was attached to the foundation and Harper
said that the cement column and base were all once piece. Bollinger asked what ideas Harper
had for a design and Harper said that the neighborhood organization had expressed interest in
imagery that reflected the neighborhood and also the phrase `Sycamore Greenway'. Bollinger
said that a student had proposed lighting the sculptures and the group all expressed support of
the idea. Various members proposed ideas for lighting the sculpture and Harper said she would
look into this. Members discussed the best shape for the columns and methods for pouring the
concrete. Harper asked members if the budget proposal looked appropriate and all members
agreed that it did. Harper also mentioned that Fas Trac students may be involved and members
agreed that this was ok.
MOTION: Fosse motioned to approve the proposal and Thurmond seconded. Motion
passed 4:0.
REVIEW OF WEST HIGH DONATION STATION ART PROPOSAL
Bollinger reviewed the current status of the West High Donation Station Art proposal. She said
she had received a few proposals from students, but planned on working to solicit more. The
group agreed.

Bollinger reviewed Kidz Tent and asked if members were interested in participating. The group
expressed interest and Bollinger said she would work with her intern on collecting donations.
UPDATE — NORTH MARKET PLACE LITERARY WALK POETRY IN PUBLIC BOOKMARKS
PROJECT
Bollinger showed the members photos of the BookMarks project and provided an update on the
project's progress. Bollinger said all books would be displayed June to October 2011. The
group was pleased with the progress of the project and had no comments.
Bollinger updated the group on the progress of the North Market Place Literary Walk saying the
art pieces were progressing well and would be installed in June/July 2011. Bollinger said she
anticipated that there would be a dedication ceremony organized.
Bollinger said that Poetry in Public was also progressing well and that posters would be installed
in public in the next few weeks. Bollinger said the program did not have the capacity to do the
art program component this year and the committee agreed a new, simpler format was needed.
Bollinger said she hoped to work on this more in the coming years and Harper said she would
like for her students to potentially participate.
