Call to Order
Miller called the meeting to order at 3:32 p.m.
Introduction of Members New PAAC member, Jenny Gringer introduced herself. She works at the University of Iowa in psychiatry research around brain imaging and is also a print maker and involved
in PS1 and a founding member of the Joy March. New PAAC member, Jeremy Endsley then introduced himself. Jeremy has an urban planning degree, has studied public art and is hoping to build on his experience. The rest of the committee members then introduced themselves. Ford introduced Dr. Rachel Arnone who will be speaking later.
Public Discussion of Any Item Not on the Agenda
None
Consideration of the August 4, 2022 meeting minutes Miller noted that he could not have made the motion to approve the increase in budget
for the Black Hawk Mini Park in the last minutes, because the President may not do that
per bylaws. Ford will check the recording and change before final minutes are submitted to Council. (Upon review of the tape, Dongilli had moved, and Knoche had seconded that the Black Hawk Mini Park budget be approved as discussed). Seydell-Johnson moved to approve the August minutes with the correction, Truitt seconded. Motion
passed (7-0).
Longfellow Tunnel Junior High Mural project update, Rachel Arnone Dr. Rachael Arnone, art teacher at South East Junior High, explained that this is the seventh year of painting the pedestrian tunnel between Sheridan and Kirkwood
Avenues, originally created to stop tagging that had been happening. Since then,
tagging has been limited which has been helped by the addition of the SEJH art class “signatures.” Dr. Arnone explained the mural design assignment is for everyone in the SEJH art class, but the painting crew is limited to about 10 since too many painters in the tunnel is crowded and production suffers with more than 10 at a time.

All students in the class have to design a mural and then all students vote on their favorites. The top two vote-getters become the design for the tunnel. They are then
painted on the tunnel walls by the artists and 8 other students in the class selected by
random drawing. This year, students selected art by Hamish and Archy who collaborated and designed a panel highlighting both cartoony and realistic characters. Willow, the artist of the other winning panel, highlights hills and stars, a favorite topic of hers which will be altered some to include some elements that appear in Hamish and
Archy’s design. The project also gives the student artists leadership experience.
Painting will take place on Thursday, September 15; the City will provide transportation, a porta-potty, a freshly painted surface and reimbursement for spray paint up to $500. Gringer moved, and Endsley seconded that the design be approved. Motion passed (7-
0).
Consider Retiring Windows and Worlds Bookmark Ford showed photos of the state of the piece and explained she’d contacted Susan Craig, former Library Director who had donated it and approved of its retirement.
Seydell-Johnson moved that we decommission and remove the piece, and Gringer seconded. Motion passed (7-0).
Sculptors Showcase 2022-2023 video review Ford showed Jack Brooks’ recent video on the locations and the sculptural pieces in this
years’ Sculptors Showcase, and encouraged committee members to visit the website,
https://www.icgov.org/iowa-city-sculptors-showcase to see the additional individual interviews with artists. Truitt asked about the public relations that have happened to date with social media and website postings. Ford said they had been promoted once but that we could stand to do more.
There was a question about whether artists had been able to sell any of the sculptures exhibited in the first year and Ford responded she didn’t think any had sold, but upon installing one of Hilde DeBruyne’s pieces, a passerby inquired about the price. The passerby was surprised at the price tag, and committee members agreed it is good that
people learn the value of art.
Updates Ford reported that Dawson Davenport had agreed to the increase in budget for completing part two of the Black Hawk Mini Park project, on which he will be working
early this fall and before the sign is installed. A QR code embedded in the plaque
artwork will lead to the web-based information he is writing up for part two, so it will be important to have part two of the project completed before the plaque is installed.
The South District Bus Stop Bench project is still underway as organizers have added to
the push for Artist Mentor applications, since the first round of applications did not result
in a candidate. They want to use the mentor/mentee model, but if a qualified mentor is not available, they may decide to continue the project with an experienced artist instead.

Leaders for the Airport Hangar/Gateway mural project sought the advice of and consulted Thomas Agran to ensure the RFQ under development for the project is clear and fully states the challenges and opportunities of the project. His information was
helpful, and the Airport Commission has determined a subcommittee to refine details
and approve of the RFQ before it goes out. It is likely the process will involve shortlisting 3 artists and paying each a stipend to come up with a tight concept for the airport, from which the Airport Commission will select a winner. That concept will then be used in soliciting donations to complement the $8,000 from the PAAC. Agran had estimated a
low-end budget would be $20,000 with a higher end at $40,000. He also made
recommendations for the RFQ details and specific types of paint products that should be used, cautioning that simply using housepaint would put the mural at much greater risk of weathering early.
Finally, Simple Flight, the sculpture at the east end of the bridge over the river near
Iowa River Power Company restaurant, was removed for rehab on August 31. Dave Dennis, who played a big role in the rehab of the Snelson, now in Riverfront Crossings Park, was contracted to complete this work. The rehab project should take around 6 weeks.
Adjournment Knoche moved and Seydell-Johnson seconded that the meeting be adjourned at 4:05 pm. Motion passed (7-0).

Iowa City Airport Mural Project
Request for Qualifications
Accepted through Monday, November 14, 2022
About the Project
The Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee and the Iowa City Airport Commission are seeking
artists to design and create a mural on the east facing wall of an airport hangar located along
Riverside Drive. The exterior hangar wall is approximately 12’ tall and 300’ long.
Artists will be responsible for presenting a mural concept, responding to Commission and
stakeholder input, refining a final design, and painting the mural on the hanger wall. While the
final design will be done by the artist, the Airport Commission suggests the mural reference the
storied history of aviation in Iowa City.
The goal of the project is to create an eye-catching mural that will greet drivers, pilots,
passengers and pedestrians entering Iowa City from the south on S. Riverside Drive as well as
provide a visual cue about the history, activities and highlights of the Iowa City Airport.
About the Airport in Iowa City
In 1910, Captain Thomas Baldwin in the Red Devil made the first flight over and forever ignited
a passion for aviation in Iowa City. From the first days of flight which were featured as
entertainment or used for advertising with backing from the Chamber of Commerce of the day,
to its role in the development of airmail services and government sponsored cross continental
flight, to its crucial role in medical flights, flying in Iowa City and the Iowa City airport has a
storied history.
The Iowa City Airport’s humble beginnings along what was then known as the Red Ball Highway,
served the community from leased ground on a 35-acre piece of the Benjamin Dairy Farm until
its informal use was converted to an official, government-designated air mail landing field in
1920. Fitting with its agricultural roots, the first piece of airmail departing Iowa City was a tiny
ten-pound pig bound for Chicago. Soon after that, on a dark night in February 1921, the first
overnight transcontinental flight stopped for fuel at the Iowa City Airport. Transcontinental
flight was deemed a success and Congress appropriated funding to continue airmail service
with Iowa City as a stop along the route. When operators were faced with the expense of
another lease for the Benjamin Dairy Farm and a requirement to build a hangar to house the
postal planes, the community rallied with help from the Chamber and the government.
Days after the stock market crash in 1929, the City agreed to purchase the land, making it the
first municipally owned airport in the state. The ensuing years would bring investments from
Boeing in the form of hangars and administrative buildings. The airport also played a big role in
WWII as the site for training more than 2,500 cadets in the renown U.S. Navy Pre-flight School.
That endeavor established ties with the University of Iowa which remain strong today.
PAAC 10.13.2022 packet page 6
Boeing’s interest eventually gave way to United Airlines who continued to provide passenger
service well into the 1950s. When United left for Cedar Rapids, Ozark Airlines took over as the
primary commuter airline and remained until the 1960s. The iconic terminal building was
designed by architect Henry Fisk and built in the early 1950s reflecting the angular lines of the
International Style. These days the airport offers many services including medical flights, pilot
training, aircraft repair, sales and charter services. It is also home to the Operator Performance
Lab, a project of the College of Engineering at the University of Iowa.
The Iowa City Airport website and numerous publications including Iowa City Municipal Airport:
Opening the West to Aviation, 1918-2007 are great references for airport history.
About the hangar wall site
The Iowa City Airport is located at 1801 S Riverside Drive in Iowa City approximately ½ mile
south of the Riverside Drive/Hwy 1 intersection. Northeast of the terminal building and set back
from Riverside Drive by a few hundred feet, there are three blue airplane hangars. The mural
will go on the east wall facing Riverside Drive. Other points to consider:
• Site security: access to the site with permission of Airport Manager only
• The wall will need to be power washed as part of the project budget
• The wall is metal with vertical ‘ribs’ spaced every foot or so, requiring attention to how a 2D
image is affected by the vertical elements
• The artist will be allowed to use the airport’s scissor lift if needed
• Mural work and timing must be communicated between airport management and hangar
tenants to ensure pilot’s ability to come and go during the project.
• Hangar doors are not tightly sealed so planes must be covered when painting on their
hangar door
• There are 5 forty-foot bi-fold hangar doors on the wall, each with its own smaller entrance
door (see reference photos) and a 6th walkthrough door.
• Artist will be responsible for protecting interior contents of hangars throughout the
preparation and painting process (hangars doors are not airtight)
• Artist will be required to show proof of General Liability Insurance in the amount of
$1,000,000 naming the City of Iowa City as an additional insured.
Budget
The budget for the project is $38,400 which must include all costs of design and installation of
mural.
Payments will be issued in three installments:
• 1/3 within 14 days of entering into agreement
• 1/3 within 14 days of design approval
• 1/3 within 14 days of project completion
PAAC 10.13.2022 packet page 7

Public Art Matching Fund Program
Now accepting applications for 2023
To foster creativity and continue to build on Iowa’s City’s moniker, The Greatest Small
City of the Arts, the City’s Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) announces the 2023
Matching Grant fund program. The program is available for art projects (visual, audio or
performance based) that are located in Iowa City and accessible to the general public.
The maximum award is $3,500 which will require documented total project costs of at
least $7,000. Smaller grants for smaller projects are also available; the minimum grant is
$500 for a grant project of at least $1,000. All projects must be completed during
calendar year 2023.
Art such as sculpture, murals, performances, interactive exhibits, video projections,
soundscapes, the spoken word, and other media will all be considered. While all
proposals will be considered, it should be noted that those that are functional,
ephemeral, in unexpected places, or have a participatory element to them will be strong
competitors.
Proposals must be for projects created by Iowa City artists that will be publicly
accessible and viewable within Iowa City city limits. Art may be displayed or performed
on private property with property owner permission.
Proposals will be accepted through December 15, 2022 at 5:00 PM. Projects are
required to be completed by December 31, 2023. Final selections will be determined by
members of PAAC.
The application and additional information on selection criteria, submission
requirements, eligible expenses and other conditions for the program are available at
www.icgov.org/publicart.

PAAC Policy Regarding the Eligibility of Applicants Who Have Previously Received Matching
Grant Funds
Iowa City’s Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) does not prohibit previously funded artists,
programs or organizations from applying for subsequent Matching Grant funding cycles.
Pursuant to Goals 2 and 3 of the Iowa City Public Art Strategic Plan (2020-25), the PAAC
reserves the right to consider any applicant’s prior funding history on an individual basis and in
consideration of the complete applicant pool in order to “expand opportunities” for new
projects while simultaneously “ensur[ing] an ongoing… sustainable” arts community in Iowa
City.
We encourage returning applicants to consider the following when applying for subsequent
Matching Grant funding cycles:
• If a previously funded applicant is applying with a new project proposal:
o Have prior PAAC-funded projects been completed or progressed according to the
application timeline?
o Will the new project negatively interfere in the timely completion of an ongoing
or outstanding project supported with PAAC funds?
o How do the PAAC Matching Funds present a unique funding opportunity that
cannot be pursued through other sources? Has the applicant pursued a more
diverse funding portfolio for the project? (i.e. the size, scope or community-
mission of the applicant’s project is best served by the PAAC mission and/or
incongruent with other available funding sources)
• If a previously funded applicant is applying for the same or similar project:
o Does the proposed project build upon previously funded projects in meaningful
but distinct ways? Have you documented or evaluated the growth and
development of the project? (i.e. the applicant utilizes PAAC funds to
expand/revise/refine rather than replicate)
o How does the continued funding of the project provide new or expanded
opportunities for individual artists or community interaction with public art? (i.e.
the applicant’s annual project is a forum in which new artists or new work is
being created each year, the applicant’s successive iterations of the project
engage different communities or locations that expand audience reach)
o How do the PAAC Matching Funds present a unique funding opportunity that
cannot be pursued through other sources? Has the applicant pursued a more
diverse funding portfolio for the project? (i.e. the size, scope or community-
mission of the applicant’s project is best served by the PAAC mission and/or
incongruent with other available funding sources)
