Anna Kann, artist, said that she is local to the area and went to school for technical theater, stage design, and technical direction, and said she’s excited to be working on the Kiwanis Park Art Sculpture. Anna Clowser, Neighborhood Services Assistant, said that she is a student at the University of Iowa studying sculpture and social justice. Leslie Revaux, one of the co-sponsors of the Oracles project, said she was just checking in for an update on the project. Sarah Gardner, Engagement Specialist with the Climate Action and Outreach Division, said she is here to talk about the Community Mural Project. Staff and the members of the Public Art Advisory Committee introduced themselves. Public Discussion of Any Item Not on the Agenda None. Consideration of Minutes of the May 6, 2021 Meeting Motion: Knoche moved to accept the minutes from the May 6, 2021 meeting. Truitt seconded. Approved unanimously. 2 Updates Oracles of Iowa City Bollinger said that she has been communicating with John Englebrecht from Public Space One to develop a communications plan. She said they hope to meet with several members of the Oracles team next week. She said they expect to start working on the mural by the middle of June. Knoche said the process would be three days a week for multiple weeks to get the installation done. Bollinger said that they still expected to meet the June 30th deadline, but it is not a problem if they do not. She said the Committee talked previously about including some of the written narrative to help the public understand why they used specific language, and she is hoping to fine-tune that next week. She asked if any members would like to be on that committee. Truitt said she would be curious to observe the process. Pheasant Hill Art Removal Bollinger said the mosaic installation the Committee approved for removal was removed about two weeks ago. She said she had some direct email interaction with the public (after she placed a sign on the site and put out a post to let the neighbors know) who voiced their opinions on wanting to move the project instead of removing it and wishing that they were made more aware so that they could’ve helped to find an alternative solution. Bollinger said she responded to all the emails saying that they saw the degradation of most of the work and anticipated the rest of the project deteriorating over the next few years. Seydell-Johnson said that one of the neighbors contacted her and offered her a bucket of the mosaic pieces that had fallen off over the years, which demonstrated just how much the project was f alling apart. She said the project was pretty well destroyed with the removal efforts due to the size and weight of the pieces. Iowa City Sculptors Showcase Bollinger said that the pads have been installed and the call to artists has gone out with the deadline for submissions being June 28th. She said she sent it out through the Artists Registry Database as well as to cities of Davenport and Dubuque and the Iowa Arts Council, so it should be on their websites as well. Kiwanis Park Community Garden Art Project Proposal Anna Kann, the artist for the project, said that she met with the Neighborhood Committee about a month ago and received feedback from them about a final design. She said the project will be a bench art installation between the existing gazebo and community garden so that people can use it for rest and being together in that space. Kann showed the proposal and said that the idea was for it to exist within the aesthetic (rust steel cutouts and natural stone that matches the playground) that is already present inside the park. She said she added a six-inch area around the sculpture to make it easier for mowing and drainage. She said the center will be paved with an ADA accessible surface and have some design on it, which hasn’t fully been described yet. Kann said the theme of the sculpture is children playing and interacting with nature, so the cutouts will be native prairie plants, children playing, and handprints from local children. Pfohl said the Kiwanis Group and the Danes were very interested in incorporating something involving the children, and she thinks the proposal idea went over very well with the groups. She said they were concerned that the sculpture wasn’t solid and that it presented a safety hazard, but that they were excited about the bench idea as well as the location. Kann showed more visuals of her proposed idea and said that all of the cutouts would be very smooth, sanded down, and safe for touching since they knew that children would be playing on it. She also said that she is crafting it so that nothing would be lost if someone happened to drop their phone into/onto the project. 3 Miller asked how she would be fabricating the steel. Kann said she has been talking with Liberty Ironworks, and that the project would be composed of a few 12ft panels with steel tubing acting as the inside frame, which would then all be drilled into the stone. She said her idea is that the CNC pieces of large cutouts will be bolted to the frame and the frame will be bolted to the stone bench unit. Miller asked if the stone bench units are going to be fabricated locally. Kann said her goal is for them to be a fabricated stone that is poured, so that it can come in as one unit and be pretty solid. If that isn’t possible due to prices and shortages, she said they would be large chunks of limestone cut out into the semi-circles with a steel base underneath. She said due to their budget and the prices of everything at this time, they are having to get a little creative with how to make the project happen. Miller asked if Liberty Ironworks or a contractor would be constructing the project. Kann said she has a background in construction so she would be constructing it. Pfohl said that Kann has done metal works for the Smithsonian, which they all really liked. Kann said she has worked with all the materials before except for the very large pieces of stone, but she is planning on prepping the pieces off site so that the installation process is smooth. Seydell-Johnson said the Parks Department has a stockpile of limestone blocks available as an option if cost becomes an issue, although they wouldn’t have a back or be curved. Pfohl said the Danes have also offered heavy farm chains, if they wanted to weld that onto the top edge of the project. Kann said she would not be opposed to that, as they are trying to utilize some of their items since the Danes are an important part of the park. Steil said that Kann has done some really cool things with lighting in her past projects and asked if it would be possible to incorporate lighting into this project. Seydell-Johnson said she doesn’t think there’s any electric near that part of the park, so it would be a fairly big investment if they chose to incorporate lighting. Pfohl said the location will be exposed to sunlight most of the time, so it should be well-lit. Bollinger asked if the cutouts would cause any issues with long-term maintenance if leaves or debris were to get caught inside them. Kann said her plan is to make the steel frame as close to the stone as possible so that very little can be jammed between it and the bench. Bollinger asked if the product would rust as it ages. Kann said it will, but the finish should slow the process down. Miller said he loves weathered steel, but it is tricky to work with as it gets wet and stains the concrete/benches around it. Kann said she will make a note of that. Pfohl suggested they use colored concrete to match the staining color. Miller asked if the pattern of the cutouts is still in the works. Kann said it is due to the height change of the structure. Boyken asked if the names of the kids who participated in the project will be listed anywhere. Pfohl said she doesn’t think they should do that. Kann said she liked the idea of keeping the cutouts as general handprints, so that any kid could walk up and see if their hand fit, but that the kids who participated should be able to find their own print if they wished. Pfohl said she knows of a couple of families who are very excited to have their kid add their handprint. Miller asked how thick the steel was. Kann said she needed to talk to someone more about that. Miller asked about the timeline. Kann said her goal was to have it installed by August. Motion: Finlayson moved to approve moving forward with the project in Kiwanis Park. Steil seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Community Mural Project at City’s Resource Management Building located at 1306 Gilbert Ct. Bollinger said that Gardner contacted her a few weeks ago about the potential for utilizing some financial resources as part of the Climate Fest events in September. She said it would be nice to have the facility on Gilbert Court and its neighboring bike library be activated, so she has put together a call to artists for the Committee to review. 4 Gardner said the Climate Fest last year was a week-long event that was held virtually. She said they are transitioning back to in-person events this year that will take place over several days during the second to last week in September. She said they wanted to have a community art project involved with it because community members have mentioned wanting to see more climate themed art within the community to reflect Iowa City’s commitment to taking climate action. She thought a mural on the facing wall of the Gilbert Court building would act as a great catalyst to build on the beautification projects that the bike library is currently undertaking, as well as to have a Climate Fest event that takes place outside of a city park to show that climate action can happen anywhere. Gardner said that they have the funding lined up to pay the artist for their work, and their hope is to find an artist who could come up with a design that would be put on the wall and then they could have community participants painted in (similar to what was done for the South District neighborhood mural). She said they wanted help from the Committee in picking a design, and her and Bollinger have come up with some themes that they would like to see reflected in the mural. Miller said the idea seemed straightforward, appropriate, and great. Seydell-Johnson said she likes the idea and thinks it will really add to the space. Bollinger said one of the additions to the call was for the artist to consider carrying some of the elements of the mural onto the face of the building. She said the north facing wall is 280ft wide and 12ft tall, so there is a lot of space to work with. Seydell-Johnson asked if there is any source for recycled or reclaimed paint to use for the project. Steil said if they reached out to the HBA there might be contractors that could donate some paint. Bollinger said that there is a paint manufacturer (Diamond Vogel) that provides grant funds for community projects. Knoche said a potential concern would be the longevity of the project if they do not get quality paint. Dongilli said it would be cool to have a gardening or courtyard component added to the mural in the future, but that it sounded like an exciting project. Motion: Seydell-Johnson moved to proceed with publishing a call for artists for the Community Mural Project. Dongilli seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Final Review of Rubric, Score Sheet, and Funding Eligibility Considerations Ford showed an updated rubric with the changes suggested from their last meeting. Truitt suggested wording that would encourage people to look at their Strategic Plan as well as the community’s vision. She also suggested that they look at the impact that PAAC funding has on projects, if it needed to be discussed. Ford said they use the “But for” clause with economic development funding to help highlight the city’s contribution to each project. Miller said he feels as though having the required matching funds should be a prerequisite instead of a scored category on the rubric. Dongilli said they should consider if the PAAC funds are being used for a core part of the project rather than a tangential piece. Seydell-Johnson said she liked that train of thought, and they could consider asking specifically what the PAAC funds would be used for and use that to help the Committee decide. Truitt asked if they wanted to change the wording to focus more on the impact that PAAC funding has on each project. Seydell-Johnson and Miller said they would support those changes. Knoche asked if the Committee wants to be the sole funding source for a project and therefore fund less projects, or fund a greater number of projects but have less of an impact on their funding. Miller said there would be inherit bias towards smaller projects if they set it up that way. Bollinger said she has looked at the Matching Funds as more of a resource for newer artists rather than a be-all-end-all for a particular project. She said if the Committee is going to include some kind of quantifier for the impact of the Matching Funds, then they should include that as a criterion within the program so that the applicants are aware. Truitt said she felt like she received good feedback 5 but having literal comments/revisions from multiple Committee members would be more helpful. Dongilli said he would send her more of his coherent thoughts. Finlayson said Truitt could send her a copy so she could help work on it. Bollinger said they should plan on using the rubric as is, and they can always adjust it if it isn’t working for them. Motion: Knoche moved to accept the rubric as amended with Dongilli’s comments. Finlayson seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Ford showed an updated version of the score sheet. Dongilli said he thought the categories accurately described the rubric section. Motion: Seydell-Johnson moved to accept the score sheet as amended. Dongilli seconded. Motion passed unanimously. Ford showed the eligibility considerations for repeat applicants. Truitt explained that these bullet points were from discussions the Committee has had in the past. Knoche said he was the one who brought up the concern for repeat applicants, but he said the bigger issue revolved around funded projects that haven’t been completed. Miller said it doesn’t seem like they have experienced much abuse of this program to set the rules concerning repeat applicants. Truitt said she feels like they should have something on the books about repeat applicants. Bollinger said she agreed and wanted to make sure repeat applicants knew that multiple project submissions needed to be significantly different than previous projects to add to the diversity of the entire program. Miller asked if that would exclude the Chamber and music projects like concerts in the park. Bollinger said the Chamber has only applied once, but it is worth thinking about if funding those sorts of projects multiple times. Dongilli suggested that they could use specific wording that referenced their Strategic Plan and Committee goals. Process to Allocate FY22 Art Funds Bollinger said she sent the Committee some background information about previous projects as well as the survey/feedback results from the Strategic Plan Process. She said they haven’t yet come up with a process for engaging the existing art professionals and the public with the general community, but it would be nice to have something in place by September. She said one idea they had was to do another survey that the general public could get involved in. Seydell-Johnson suggested linking it to their Strategic Plan. Miller said what they spend their money on is a big deal, and he suggested creating a draft of some potential allocations and then soliciting feedback from the public and community arts organizations. Truitt encouraged the Committee to check in with their Strategic Plan before soliciting outside feedback. Bollinger asked if there were a few people who wanted to get together and come up with a draft for next month’s meeting. Miller, Dongilli, and Boyken volunteered. In-Person Meeting Opportunities Bollinger said the City Hall is open to the public on July 1st. Seydell-Johnson said that boards and commissions can meet in-person either in the large space at the Senior Center or in the social hall at the Robert E. Lee Rec Center. She said it is a matter of whether members are comfortable meeting in person or would rather stay on Zoom. Miller suggested that if anyone has strong feelings about in-person meeting opportunities they could email Bollinger. Bollinger said that Steil has previously expressed interest in meeting in-person. Finlayson said she would be fine meeting in person. Bollinger said she doesn’t have a strong opinion one way or another. Knoche said the spaces recommended will have both video and audio capabilities so future meetings can be recorded regardless. Seydell-Johnson said they could stick with Zoom 6 meetings through the summer and re-address in-person meeting in the fall. Bollinger said they will proceed with that. Artists Registry Discussion (Purington) The discussion was tabled for a later time due to Purington’s absence. Staff Reports Seydell-Johnson said that there is still a curtain that is coming to cover the Film Scene screen at the Chauncey Swan. She said it is a prairie scene designed by Thomas Agran. Adjournment Knoche moved to adjourn the meeting. Seydell-Johnson seconded.

Overall her artwork has an energetic, warm and welcoming feel to it. It is very durable, sustainable, with minimum maintenance required and able to withstand harsh conditions. She has created numerous public art installations in metal, Cor ten steel or aluminum for private collectors and government agencies throughout the Midwest: the 16 ft tall Tree of Life at Terra Park in Johnston, IA ,the 11ft tall Tree of Life in Indianola, IA , Circle of Life in West Des Moines, IA, Bloom at Elizabeth Holland Park in Norwalk, IA. All projects were completed within the timeline and with the greatest satisfaction of her clients. She has engaged the community by involving them into the creation of the art project: both Tree of Life installations have words that reflect the community and were brainstormed by community members. She often enriches the artwork with bold, attractive colors. She usually works around a nature-inspired theme and explores this theme throughout a series of works . One of them is the “Metamorphosis” series where she explores the stages of the butterfly and in particular the struggle of the butterfly to emerge out of the cocoon. Another one is the “Migration” Series and the recently explored “Botanical” Series. Max. 1500 characters.

My primary medium is weathered steel, stainless steel, aluminum, acrylic sheet/Lexan, and native limestone. I incorporate LED lighting in my designs when appropriate and have started to incorporate more painted steel in my work. My Midwestern roots and a career as a Registered Landscape Architect influence my designs. The native trees, shrubs, and perennial plants I work with and the rugged weather of the Midwest provide my inspiration. Natural landforms and native plants are often the starting points for my sculpture concepts. I use materials that are long lasting and weather naturally without needing maintenance or care. My works are designed and constructed to be stout, long term installations with little or no maintenance needed.

He taught me everything, from the characteristics of materials such as steel, cast iron and aluminum to the various welding techniques; arc, TIG, MIG, torch, etc. In 1983 I produced and installed my first major public sculpture. Since that time I’ve continued to make things. Yearly, I participate in numerous outdoor public sculpture shows and produce commissioned work across the United States, Canada and Europe.

Overall her artwork has an energetic, warm and welcoming feel to it. It is very durable, sustainable, with minimum maintenance required and able to withstand harsh conditions. She has created numerous public art installations in metal, Cor ten steel or aluminum for private collectors and government agencies throughout the Midwest: the 16 ft tall Tree of Life at Terra Park in Johnston, IA ,the 11ft tall Tree of Life in Indianola, IA , Circle of Life in West Des Moines, IA, Bloom at Elizabeth Holland Park in Norwalk, IA. All projects were completed within the timeline and with the greatest satisfaction of her clients. She has engaged the community by involving them into the creation of the art project: both Tree of Life installations have words that reflect the community and were brainstormed by community members. She often enriches the artwork with bold, attractive colors. She usually works around a nature-inspired theme and explores this theme throughout a series of works . One of them is the “Metamorphosis” series where she explores the stages of the butterfly and in particular the struggle of the butterfly to emerge out of the cocoon. Another one is the “Migration” Series and the recently explored “Botanical” Series. Max. 1500 characters.

The Pubic Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) exists to administer the Public Art Program by determining the placement of public art, the type of art to be used in a specific project, and the artist to be engaged, overseeing the acceptance of gifts of art, overseeing the maintenance and disposition of public art, and overseeing expenditures of the Public Art. For FY 22, the PAAC has committed $30,000 between the very popular Matching Grant Funds program and a project in the South District Neighborhood, to be determined. The committee will also be considering projects for an additional $30,000 for public art projects in public spaces in Iowa City. The PAAC has narrowed its focus to a group of specific public areas and project types and is now seeking public comment. Typically, the committee solicits requests for proposals for public art installations in the locations or of the types following. Locations in parentheses are those the PAAC would like to prioritize in the coming year. In parks (Hickory Hill, Waterworks Prairie Park, Fraunholtz-Miller, Hunters Run, Peninsula Park, Waterworks Prairie Park); on trails (Court Hill Trail; Iowa River Trail); at public buildings and grounds (Airport, Animal Services, Eastside Recycling , Ashton House grounds or interior display space); an expansion of the Sculpture Showcase program; a work in Black Hawk Mini Park; Performance Art Matching Fund; and Community Participatory Art. Finally, the PAAC is seeking concept ideas from four categories determined in the Strategic Plan: Unexpected Art; Functional Art; Ephemeral Art and Private Property Art. To comment on the locations noted above or to provide concept ideas for Unexpected Art, functional art, ephemeral art or private property art, please email _______@iowa-city.org Or a Survey?
