Draft, p.1 Public Art Advisory Committee Mtg, 12/5/2024 Minutes Public Art Advisory Committee December 5, 2024 Emma J Harvat Hall Public Art Advisory Committee Members Present: Leslie Finer, Juli Seydell Johnson, Andrea Truitt, Sophie Donta, Scott Sovers, Anita Jung, Rachel Kinker Members Absent: Nate Sullivan, Jeremy Endsley Staff present: Rachel Kilburg Varley, Ashley Platz, T'Shailyn Harrington Public Present: none Call to Order Truitt called the meeting to order at 3:32 p.m. Public Discussion of Any Item Not on the Agenda None. Consider minutes of the November 7, 2024 PAAC meeting. Knoche noted the election of the chair and vice-chair occurred at the October meeting and needed to removed from the November meeting minutes. Johnson moved and Kinker seconded that the amended minutes from the November 7, 2024, meeting be approved. Motion passed (7-0). Consider 2025 Public Art Matching Grant Program Materials and Budget Amount Kilburg Varley noted the changes directed at the November 7, 2024 meeting were incorporated. She shared that $15,000 was budgeted for the grant program. Additionally, current capacity in the budget's "opportunity fund" line item would allow for a total of up to $25,000 to be awarded through the 2025 funding round if the Committee chose to fund more than $15,000 in projects. Committee members discussed and recommended an edit to the online application form so that applicants have the ability to expand the size of the text fields. Additionally, they agreed that approving an amount of "up to $25,000" was desirable, and that they could decide upon the appropriate level at or below that depending on the quantity and quality of applications received. Jung moved to approve the final 2025 grant materials and a funding amount up to $25,000. Finer seconded. Motion passed (7-0). Jung asked if there was a list of public art maintenance projects. Kilburg Varley reminded the Committee that a Condition Assessment Survey is underway and will be completed in Spring 2025. This Survey will include a condition rating and ranking of Public Art works that are in most need of repair or maintenance. Public Art Input Survey Draft, p.2 Public Art Advisory Committee Mtg, 12/5/2024 Rachel noted that, as part of the continuing process to collect information that will inform an updated Public Art Strategic Plan, a Public Art public input suNey was recently issued and will remain open through early January. The goal is to receive at least 500 responses. She reviewed the various strategies that will be used to market and promote the suNey among the public, including news release, social media, and cross-promotion with other departments. The Committee suggested sharing the suNey with local arts organizations and on the buses for additional promotion. January Meeting Kilburg Varley noted that the January meeting falls on the day after New Year's Day. Additionally, there are not currently any known agenda topics. As such, she invited the Committee to decide if they would like to hold the meeting as scheduled, reschedule, or cancel the meeting. After discussion, the Committee decided to cancel the January meeting. Staff Updates First, Kilburg Varley provided an update on the South District Bus Stop Bench Project. She shared that the Public Works staff will be assisting the artist with final fabrication and installation. That team met earlier in the week to develop a plan for installation, which should take place in the next couple of weeks, weather permitting. She also noted that a ribbon-cutting for the sculpture would probably take place later in the Spring when the weather is better. The Committee suggested a possible partnership with Party in the Park for the ribbon cutting. Finally, Kilburg Varley noted that she will be beginning maternity leave soon and introduced alternative staff members, Ashley Platz and T'Shailyn Harrington, who will be assisting with agenda prep and staffing of the Committee and administration of the 2025 Matching Grant funding round. Old or New Business None. Adiournment Knoche moved to adjourn at 3:52 pm. Jung seconded. Motion passed (7-0).

I love to show people my art and help them to create their own through experiences, teaching, and interacti Post more flyers! Locals only! Seeing artists advertising their events through posters or social media. I'm housebound, but think art should be everywhere possible. NA N/A Combination of several of the above: can discover accidental or go to see a new installation or concert. Watching others create art NA I teach art with the Artists Eye which is an art program to create art and learn about famous artists from the past. I would've chosen all first 3 options listed. Also a a fantastic new piece was recognized last month on Brown Street-but only by the residents who "supplied"the concrete wall which was painted and the artist and his helpers and neighbors. And a young woman who works for a local granting agency who helped negotiate the city's requirements and obtaining $ for project supplies. The process took 8 months evidently. But no real public recognition of the piece. That was very disappointing! Seems as though the PR department was not on top of things. Lack of communication between city departments? I learned a lot by speaking to the people directly involved. Maybe more effort should go into educating the community as to the potential opportunities and resource options for initiating a new pubic art projects. NA all of the above I do many of these! I teach, make and show my own art, and I love to engage with art by viewing or interacting. IC community needs a centrally located, street level, professionally outfitted, secure, municipal, visual art gallery to PUBLICLY showcase and build cultural community thru sharing artworks by mature artists who live and pay taxes here in IC. Invest in a gallery space so everyone can know our creative visually active community. Not every artist can climb scaffolds, or paint large spaces outside. Separate funds from joint ventures with Parks and Recs. They have a huge budget and can give more to neighborhood projects that fit their 1600 acres of facilities. Stop funding grants and supporting performance. In the past 25 years the number of stages for song, dance And movies gas expanded exponentially. Pay attention to the visual artists in your own back yard .. Build and strengthen visual arts community. UISMA does not showcase local artists. Their mission and agenda brings globally recognized artist and their works to the community. A huge missing piece is a space for staging Visual Artists works. I like to take visiting friends on walks to see public art and check out any new installations! Music Viewing/listening potentially participating in performances; broadcasting-media Waste of tax dollars and some of the recent projects are offensive I find much of the "public art" in Iowa City offensive and discriminatory. I do not consider this enjoyable. We like to visit the rotating sculpture pads and other advertised installations. All of those above are important to me. It would be very difficult to answer with just one. I also am an art museum regular visitor so it would be equal to seeing art in parks, etc. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 4/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM What is your favorite type of public art?

Visual art such as paintings NA Public posting: stickers, flyers for events when they're just up around everywhere Graffiti and street art Flyers/wheatpastes/graffiti Lectures, exhibitions, and workshops Art that honors the culture, history or people of Iowa City NA Read previous essay above. IC is full of fun projects that fall into the RECREATION DEPARTMENT agenda. Use some of the space at the ICPL, which we all own, for PUBLIC GALLERY space. As a member of the committee who researched and designed the IC PUBLIC ART PROGRAM, this initiative was driven by the Visual Artists of Iowa City via Arts Iowa City over 25 years ago. Still nothing! I think artistic lighting helps with safety and beautifies. Temporary art can activate different parts of the town. Music brings people together! Gardens all of the above expect the drop the term "wayfinding" -it's DIRECTIONS! None of the above. Local flyers for shows made by local artists Water art; earth art (Maya Lin, Mary Miss, Andy Goldsworthy!) graffiti GREEN SPACE. Unadulterated while also curated, living art, a.k.a. mini parks. They can provide beauty and literal calming, via immersion in nature; community building by collaborating in the tending of living elements and maintenance of the space. (Doubly effective for improving public health!) Members of the community could offer suggestions/wants, for a mini park; these can be collected and selected from. The space can and inevitably will, change seasonally, making it a truly LIVE SPACE. Elements can be added and subtracted, making it dynamic and renewable. We like installations that are in visual.

Grass area west of Rita's Ranch Dog Park Palco I Content Yes! More art in neighborhoods. I would love to see some art around City High (Morningside Glendale) A Progress Pride flag inspired crosswalk mural at the three way crosswalk of Linn and College Streets in Downtown Iowa City, at the entrance to the Ped Mall and outside the Iowa City Public Library; more public art (sculptures) in the Sycamore Greenway; public art (colorful lighting over the Court Street Trail -such as from Heyn's Ice Cream to Scott Park), and sculptures in the Olde Town Village (Blackstone) area. More art on the pedmall! Median of Dubuque St between Foster Road and Kimball Rd So many great ideas! Driving into Iowa city by the bridge and river and in neighborhoods Yes (that answers your specific question, but you probably meant "Where."). I'd like to see more public art in the Morningside-Glendale Neighborhood. We have no stores, churches, or schools. Give us ART! Neighborhoods Longfellow neighborhood would love to have art installed in our busy intersections as a method of traffic calming and bringing a sense of community to our neighborhood. The ICPL building is so bland and blends in to the point a lot of people don't know it's there. The Linn Street side is begging for a huge mural or artistic piece. 1st Ave near Muscatine throughout the City Bus stops would be nice. Other cities have beautified their bus shelters and ours are boring in comparison. They have also painted the ugly utility boxes to beautify it and it really adds to the city. Instead of seeing an ugly metal box you see a lovely art piece. The south side of Iowa City. I'd love to see more florals downtown, planters, greenery for holidays city park Downtown Somewhere in my neighborhood, maybe the college street throughway the upper levels of the building where India Cafe is located. There's a big blank wall that faces E Washington Street Love the large murals on the area businesses and non-profits. Would love to see more. More art outside the downtown district. Really enjoy the interactive art pieces and would love to see more in and outside the Ped Mall. Left part of court hill park High profile/traffic areas. City Park could benefit from a facelift of sculpture and gardening. Could be so much better and more interesting. Bus stops are also an easy place to do something creative. Also for example at the corner of 7th Avenue, College Street and Wilson Street there is a concrete median structure that has basically cracks and weeds. Could be art. more parking ramps Public buildings/facilities It would be really awesome if all the busses were painted by local artists! That horrible building at 288 South Linn. Beautification of Hwy 6 East throughfare - The city already does a good job, but more art at bus stops (also more covered bus stops!) and around Terry True blood and any of the trails in town Spread it out. Place in neighborhood gathering spots for public to enjoy not just downtown although that's good to but not political or controversial messages please, too much decisiveness already and some current murals feed that. nothing specific, just get art into the neighborhoods Murals on downtown buildings and in areas we're trying to promote walkability City Hall and other public buildings/spaces. Riverfront Crossings district. Not just the park but the areas around it could use some placemaking Love public art in the parks. Scott Park https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 8/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM south side, along gilbert Fix the bike lanes in Iowa City please Painted curb extensions at the intersection of Highland and Keokuk no South of the main downtown area, down to Riverfront Crossings Palco I Content Washington Street Entrance to Pedestrian Mall; UI Old Capitol walkway; Dubuque Street entry to Iowa City along Iowa River. "Made" art that blends/reflects its natural setting Everywhere Any blank wall--like the retaining wall at the corner of Washington and Dodge Street or the side of the commercial building next to the creek at 805 1st Avenue (facing the creek). The Court Hill Trail or in along the IRC Trail would be nice. Perhaps something monumental or iconic in City Park or Riverfront Crossings Park--that you can see from the road that gets you to come to the park to see it up close. Just don't repeat the disappointment that was the "Lens" where we attract a major artist to submit and then decide to defund the project. Bus stops and alley ways. On the Senior Center, done by seniors. The intersection of Riverside Dr and Grand Ave by the law building. I live on the eastside, and i think it would be great to have more IOWA CITY specific art by I give a sense of connection to the city The South and SE side badly needs something to look at besides the wastelands of Sycamore Mall, Proctor and Gamble and minimal ls. So does the Towncrest area. downtown has plenty -highlight other neighborhoods and their history Continue to highlight major entrances into IC. old 218 coming into town? Lighting installations downtown City owned land at the intersection of highways 1 and 6. A temporary display along the u shaped road in upper city park that people could enjoy from their cars .. maybe something oriented to families. Also a temporary installation that's part of Farmers' Market. Something (lights?) in the tall swimming pool windows at Robert E Lee rec bldg on Burlington. More free performance art at Riverside Stage. I think you should have had gardens as an aspect of public art, the downtown after years of not much now has beautiful plantings in beds downtown and on College by the rec bldg ... that should be done more .... A temporary fairy garden at the Ashton House, in conjunction with the woven stick "huts" at City Park or out at Terry Trueblood. The new swimming pool should have an art component along the fence bold enough to be admired from the street as well as the park. not right now Please create/bring back a process to identify and fund neighborhood history with signs and photos similar to what is displayed around the Longfellow neighborhood and what was done for the houses with significant Black Iowa City history! These signs are great for dog walkers, bike riders, and residents out for walks as well as visitors who want to learn more about Iowa City history. The parking ramp on Burlington and Dubuque is so big and gray, I often find myself thinking that doing something as simple as painting each level a different color would make a huge difference. Maybe also in the alley by L&M/the hookah bar as a means of heightening feelings of safety. More of the public areas downtown! Not specific, but spreading it out evenly throughout the city seems like a good idea. (Though giving priority to areas that see more people on a regular basis, e.g. downtown, makes sense, too. Everywhere-all possible places! Not really, but I don't think the downtown area needs any more art. It's a saturated area, and I don't mind saying that because I don't think it's a real neighborhood. Commercial areas, bus stops and parking ramps/lots downtown pedestrian mall and neighborhoods South district; south east middle school neighborhood South and east side of Iowa City gets neglected Benches at bus stops Connect public art to places with important, significant historical events, people, changes. The Morningside/Glendale neighborhood. The east side of town I like seeing sculptures in natural spaces, like the birds at Sycamore Greenway https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 9/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content Paint the ugly media/utility boxes in neighborhoods; install more beautiful light posts with warmer lighting in prominent areas; have more art installations downtown; plant more native plant gardens in public areas & support grants for neighborhood parkway native plantings; decorate {pint/tile/etc) trash cans, bus stops, utility units & light poles in the city; install more beautiful neighborhood street signs. While I see an argument for spreading access to public art (specifically sculptural pieces) throughout the city on trails and in front of other public spaces I wonder if it actually limits access and visibility. A highly trafficked, central sculpture park or clustering creates a more visible and accessible experience for both visitors and more of the population. I would love to see a more intentional, centrally located public art park in the ped mall, college green, along the river, City Park etc. More along corridors with pedestrian traffic in residential areas. For example, maybe the Summit St bridge over the railroad tracks. Maybe near downtown bus exchange spot? Cooperate with UI to use its spaces? Yes· an earthworks or nature themed installation at the Ashton House. next to the Iowa River Maybe a sculpture garden along the river. N/a Information kiosks. temporary fences, and utility poles There are simple things that IC could do to introduce an artistic sensibility to our public spaces. For example--do something more with the Iowa City signs at the entrances to the community--they are small and don't communicate a sense of pride when announcing the entrance to the city (the signs feel like they are shrinking in shyness compared to their surroundings). Also--once upon a time, IC would light the new Park Road bridge. It was quite nice to highlight the sculptural structure of the bridge. Why did that feature stop? It felt so welcoming--like leaving a light burning in the window to welcome someone. And it would be absolutely great if IC would do something about the ugliest roadway in town--Highway 6. It is such an unappealing slog of a roadway. Is there something that could be done to make it less depressing? Same for the south Gilbert Street area aka Riverfront Crossings. It probably would help to have better landscaping, improved medians, underground electric utilities, etc. It would definitely be a long-term project and would need more than public art to make these areas appealing. But working with other City departments and area businesses would improve the viewscape along a couple of IC's busiest roadways. Certainly something worth considering--the impact could be incredible. North Dubuque St High traffic areas to bring art to folks' daily commutes! South Gilbert St needs some artistic help South and East sides of town! Neighborhood parks Sycamore mall area, SE side in general, bus stops 10 S. Gilbert (old Unitarian church) could be a venue for local artist to show their work Along the Iowa River/Dubuque St entrance to Iowa City IC needs an Art Center. no no No The south side -close to the homeless shelter Hickory Hill park. city park. roundabout outside ACT In lower income areas Art should be more equally distributed throughout the city. Round abouts Where people walk and gather How about in the "forgotten West side of Iowa City"? There is nothing cultural West of Mormon Trek street. Art in neighborhood parks that honor the history of the park or the culture of area Iowa City bike library, or over in that business district. South of 6 area City parks, neighborhoods South East district I love art that surprises you in a place you pass everyday. small forms of art on bus stops, utility boxes. buses, etc. are good. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 10/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content AN Artistic street furniture type of bike rack new the main bus interchange downtown intersection of Scott and Rochester Architectural projection mapping.

North Market park Stay away from controversy, embrace joy and community-building instead. northside! Dubuque Street and Hwy 1 entryways. Trails and parks ICPL, publicly owned space for visual arts gallery. Can be funded with Foundation and governed by a Board, I think it would be cool if more neighborhoods had the front porch music festivals! working with local business around town to elevate the area Pentecrest music festivals Not specific location suggestions, but I wanted to clarify that in selecting "My neighborhood" above I mean everyone's neighborhoods. I would love to see more public art in every neighborhood in Iowa City. City Park I guess it would be a private-public project --the convenience stores that are currently required to have blank store fronts on corners and all you see are empty walls --those blank spaces are screaming for murals. Riverside drive, on the wall just below the law building there is a huge unused blank wall The area around Sycamore Mall has been gradually improving. Keep supporting that area. I'd like to see a mural of prairie flowers on the side of the yellow restroom building in Riverfront Crossings Park. City parks The east side is severely lacking. Trail heads. South Scott Blvd. Anywhere along HWY 6 Hickory Hill Park, trails around city Path on the way to 1st Ave hy vee Strip mall on S. 1st Ave. (north of Shakespeare's, across from HyVee) -north outer wall facing creek/ path (building with Heyns, Dominoes, spa) Or side of 1st Ave HyVee along 1st Ave. Adjacent to and inside the sporting venues. Inner City Parks If possible, the parking lots of the Coral Ridge Mall, Hy-Vees and Wal-Marts. I know these aren't public spaces, but maybe arrangements could be worked out to set up temporary art installments. More pieces in the residential areas of town would be an interesting challenge not only from a municipal planning standpoint, but could help with community/neighborhood cohesion and identity. Plus, it may draw out some artists from those neighborhoods so the work of hyperlocal artists could be represented and work towards building neighborhood identity. Neighborhood parks Bridges, auto and pedestrian. NO NA No No Trails on the edges of the city. I suggest no locations. On areas that are neglected Towncrest area It would be wonderful to see some of the old signage on historic buildings restored (ex: the rainbow Jefferson Hotel mural) Much more could be done along Iowa River. Westsde along Mormon Trek. that vacant lot downtown, that used to be a bank. make it a public performance space or something like that. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 11/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content I think it would be wonderful for the city to put up accessible shelters at all major bus stops and have them be unique pieces of art. Not only would they provide a refuge for bus riders (and a place to sit) when weather is inclement, the art would also brighten up everyone's days when using them or passing by. In neighborhood parks. c street In the downtown pedestrian mall where there is a lot of foot traffic Entering the city from north Dodge street Parking Ramp walls and stairwells; other stairwells; colored lighting in alleys; public bathrooms that are otherwise utterly dreary; interiors of doors in public buildings, including park bathrooms; interior ceilings of aged park shelters; City buses; walking bridges .. .forged beautiful but functional handrails, more street sign toppers ... etc. no Terry Trueblood and City Park ..... maybe Hickory Hill Park (incorporate into trail signs) Hard to pick 3! Bus stops, surprising places in neighborhoods, making commercial areas more inviting/interesting. nope! Better utilize the facades of the parking structures and the ROW along the Burlington Street Corridor. I think short-term installations and artistic social engagement/performance surrounding seasonal events and festivals, is a great (and potentially low-cost) way to continue to engage local artists and support them economically with stipends. no Downtown --you can never have too much. Terry Trueblood park and also Weatherby park. Also more benches to sit on along the walking paths, maybe small covering for benches to get out of the wind or rain showers while walking the trails there or along Iowa River and also Sycamore trail. Anywhere you put"art" up it adds to the surrounding. I love it downtown, but it is also nice to see it in surprise locations and neighborhoods. I would click on all the places in question 8 if I could. Not really SE side needs more art West side of town lacking in public art N/a All the bridges spanning the river and train bridges spanning roads need public art. Murals painted on them or installations encompassing them. The bridges are ugly, highly visible and gateways to our city. Any video news broadcast where the river is filmed (think football game day) our town looks like a dilapidated post-apocalyptic industrial steel town. Most of the bridges are a pleasing shade of insane asylum green. The train bridges over Riverside Dr. is atrocious as is the train bridge of Iowa Ave. paint the Bridges! I say it every time these surveys come out. Go look, our town is ugly, because of ugly bridges. Alas, I doubt it will change. Thomas Agron will likely paint another building. Oh Yeah! Have local artists beautify chronically vacant commercial properties. Put liens on the properties to pay for it. The people shouldn't have to scrape together funding to make the community pretty while people like Barkalow can keep giant, boarded-up eyesores all over the place. It is nice to see when out for a walk/run/bike ride so along trails. I like the "downtown" area of Iowa City. We have to much public art I would prefer to focus public art funds out of the parks spaces. I wish we could use public art more often to help recontextualize or redefine blighted spaces or inject some inspiration into the mundane and the every day vs. littering our parks with random stuff. It feels scattered, underfunded, and our parks are just the last place that need help. We go to parks to get away from it all, quite often, and I'd much rather wait in a bus shelter that sparked my imagination, etc etc. I want an artistic playground in the parks. Some kind of theme. I would like to see Hawkeye statues for each letter in alphabet placed throughout the city so kids could have scavenger hunt and learn the alphabet. Des Moines has something like that in one park. I would like to see throughout city. In the South District https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 12/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content Do you have a favorite or least favorite public artwork in Iowa City's current public inventory? Why? Favorite: Man on a Bench because it is iconic and large in scale and location. It is along a trail and scenic roadway making it publicly viewable by many. Iowa City needs more large-scale sculptures! Favorites: The BenchMarks public art bench program administered by the Iowa City Downtown District and the Sculpture's Showcase. I also love the George Floyd mural on Dubuque Street. The painting on the old capital ramp --racial and social justice! New mural on Brown St, because it is a sophomoric overview of IC landmarks that seems ill-placed at the entrance to a residential neighborhood and the Brown Street Historic District. (This is the only mural in IC to which I have had such a negative reaction.) I don't really care about sports art it's already so much of the culture with the university so I'd prefer to focus attention more on other things than sports figures all over the place I like any neighborhood marker. Public library because you can borrow ( check it out) and take it home. I love the alley art in downtown Iowa City as it helps bring light to the alleys and is a wonderful surprise in an unexpected area. I also love the Longfellow nature tunnel "graffiti wall" and love that children get to participate. Love all of the temporary art the downtown district brings to the ped mall! South of 6 mural. Wonderful community effort and collaboration. Conveys life in the community and sense of comraderie. I loved the bison that were uncovered before the Moen building went up in the ped mall. .. Love Irving Weber statue. Also like artwork at Mercer Park The mural created by UAY facing the old First National parking lot/Senior Center. The sculpture on the Sycamore trail. I walk by it twice a day. Sculptures. Not my thing. I don't find them particularly visually pleasing. Dublin, Ireland has lovely painted utility boxes, which you can Google. It is so simple and adds to much. My least favorite is the Dubuque st. parking ramp, it doesn't bring a hopeful message to the community. My favorite is the piece by Eliezer Sotillo (the fish one). I love the whimsy of the piece. I also really love the Court Hill Park solar system public art. I bike on that pretty frequently and there's always a bit of joy I experience when I bike past the different "planets" No Nothing in specific though I know that I don't have a good appreciation for abstract art. My kids are drawn to things that they can recognize. the benches downtown The sculptures on the Ped Mall I love the murals and sculptures downtown My favorite is the Coexist mural by Sayuri and the UAY kids. Love the vibrant murals downtown and other places which break up the dull building colors. Especially beautiful during the long winter months. My favorite seasonal are the lights featured on the ped mall during the winter season. The planets in court hill park; weatherdance fountain-it replaced an artistic fountain with an ugly one that spays water on people and messes up the traffic pattern I like some of the sculptures that were from the 1970s, when Iowa City was a hub of artistic creativity. It seems like now we just look to larger cities like Minneapolis and say, "what are they doing for public art, and how can we copy that 10 years later?" Which for art, is 10 years too late. We have lost our ability to innovate. I liked the Looking Glass idea that was tossed around like 10 years ago. My least favorites are: the parking garage on Burlington Street, one has the word "weaponize" which I think is a little harsh for public art. We need less weapons. And also the neon trees downtown, between this and the tree sweaters I'd think we could do something more creative. The Snelson at Riverfront Crossings Park. The work is very sensitive to changes in light and it is prominently displayed. I love all the murals around town. Especially in the downtown area. They show what IC stands for and also make the city more beautiful. The more realistic sculptures, like the trio of musicians outside Yotopia are not my favorites. They're kind of corny. I love the mural on the side of what used to be Beadology!!! Lots of great murals Benches near the library/bread garden market. And the flowers painted on the street near Oasis. Lovely lovely lovely. Bright fun to have flowers on the street. And I love that for the benches, we have a cluster of art from different artists. Unity in the same structure (benches all the same size) but showcasing different styles of different artists. Plus is still functional as a bench. I really like having a cluster of things like this. It immediately gives a fun eclectic vibe https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 13/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content The artwork on the Burlington Street parking ramps are both awful. The most offensive I have ever seen. Artwork displayed should NEVER be political. We all get enough of that everywhere else. And ingrained beliefs certainly can't be swayed with a sign. It promotes division. It is depressing, segregating, and not representative of the soul of our beautiful city. If I saw that, and was considering moving here, it would negatively influence my decision to live here, sadly inaccurately portraying our culture here -and that it such a shame because Iowa City is a wonderful place to live. The bike rack at Mercer Aquatic Center. It's UGLY and does NOT function well. No,I enjoy all the art.Tern Large book sculpture of Marvin Bell's Writers in A Cafe. The social change murals are my least favorite.While I agree with whattheyaretrying to accomplish I think they are very off putting. I don't feel that encouraging 'weaponizing' anything is in good taste, especially for public art and hate that it is billboarded into Voxmanand shoved into the faces of visitors to our city and campus. It's an important message that is terribly delivered. Also I extremely dislike that our public art is often done by artist who are not local. We have so much local talent! Please use these artists first. They are wonderful and need the exposure and experience. Please. Favorite: the alley lighting downtown is a great piece of work! Least favorite: I am getting tired of all the murals. Nope I love the murals of birds in the alleyway next to Marco's grilled cheese and the church behind it downtown. I also LOVE the painted benches in the Ped mall. And the mural in the covered alleyway next to The Graduate. I also love the regular live jazz music at the Graduate. Na Coexist Sprites, 2021, just interesting and fun The murals on the Old Capital ramp are my least favorite because it is easy to misread what I think the intended message is. I'll think about this for another survey. BLM murals no Least favorite piece would be the bike lines. Everyone knows those are purely visual. I'm tired of my friends dying and also getting hit by ubereats drivers outside of the Old Capital Mall. Least favorite are the lettered murals on city parking ramps; do not see the need for this social statement which seems to raise more questions than answers due to current political climate. Fave: sculpture in the parks because they are rotated and are natural representations Least fave: the cold bronzes of people from the past Favorite--mural on the Coop, although this is probably not in the IC inventory, Goosetown mural if you need an IC one .. Least favorite--the rusty pipe thing outside of Bowen Science Building on campus. I recognize that this also is probably not in the IC inventory, but its a good example of something that is just ugly and if it sends a message, it is that it was somehow left over and not hauled away after the construction of Bowen. The triaxial sculpture falls in the same category. Love the latest mural added to the Ped Mall by The Graduate/fountain. The mural on Broadway is a favorite as it totally transformed a space that had felt blighted and forgotten. Love the mural on the side of the house on north Dubuque Street (tribute to George Floyd.) The mural on the New Pioneer Co-op is lovely. I do not like the mural on the Old Cap Parking Garage that refers to "weaponizing" privilege, specifically because of that word--that is a hard lesson of doing things under public pressure and not thinking through the long-term consequences. Ties that Bind, 2001 -emotion evoke the christmas decorations in the ped mall feel too much like a hallmark commercial. The random squiggly lights aren't that cool either, it doesn't express anything or really accent the space very well. the mural downtown, not really hype about protecting black 'bodies'-just seems so dehumanizing to a particular group, and i have to see that mural every day I love the murals, I love the changing sculpture in Mercer park, I love riverside theatre and the downtown music! Least Favorite: Bus, bench and shelter art contests. Allocate the money to actually build four season shelters to keep the elderly, children and disabled comfortable and support their access to free buses instead. Current favorite is the flying geese statue on Longfellow Nature trail. Too many murals downtown. Used to be nice. Now overwhelming. favorite -four module piece at the entrance to riverfront crossings. least favorite -oracles of iowa city I love everything I come upon. I hate drab sculptures that are just random shapes stacked on top of each other, like one of the ones infront of the stanley art museum. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 14/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content Four Module Piece, the scale in it's current configuration is nice and it makes a nice terminus on S Dubuque St. Love the mural in south iowa city on broadway street. It's so colorful and made such a change from the area before. I love the art at the Public Library, includes a variety of pieces that greet you on almost every wall, especially in the Children's Room. Downtown murals, both permanent and pop up (Caitlin Clark banner) I love the murals. I really appreciate the artwork in some of the alleys-stumbled on a couple and now look to see what might be hidden I really love the sculptures along the bike paths which my family visits as destination rides every year. The murals around town are wonderful surprises. I appreciate ALL of Iowa City's public art everywhere I find it -thank you so much for funding it! I like pieces that build community. I believe the murals on Burlington are too confrontational or aggressive. Though those are beautifully executed, I'm not a fan. I love the bronze sculpture near the fountain of the man kneeling to help a child. I like the large murals on the hardware store, NewPi, bank, parking ramp, and other buildings. I loved the dance pop up that happened in the Northside market place this summer. I love the new deer mural next to Pitaya. I came upon it for the first time when it was golden hour, which made the viewing experience that much better. I love the flowers/bird on the building on Washington and Linn, the new murals on the couple of buildings in the Pedmall, the Goosetown/Northside mural on ACE Hardware and the two large ones on the Capitol St Ramp. So colorful and have beautiful messaging (respect/love for nature, local history, and/or social justice) I like the variety. I think that's the key. No piece of art will be liked by everyone, but exhibiting many styles and forms will generate interest by a wider spectrum of the local population. anything and everything PS1 produces Fave: the weatherdance fountain on the ped mall--interactive, sculptural, playful The wall mural outside George's is a favorite, the George Floyd criminal is a least favorite. No, but the murals: murals are not the magic bullet of public art, they aren't that interesting, and the downtown has too many. When saturated, no one actually LOOKS at them. I love the sculpture on the Ped Mall adjacent to the play area, also the jazz musicians a block further west. Hard to choose a favorite, but sculptures and winter lighting downtown raise the mood and I sus[ect make the area safer I don't like the weaponize your privilege for black bodies. It sounds negative and that IC is not doing anything positive and hence this reminder. My favorite is all of the flyers and posters posted by local artists downtown. They bring life to the city and bring attention to local events, performances and artists. It breaks my heart when this living proof of Iowa City's wonderfully talented arts scene is torn down. Least favorite by an extremely significant margin is the Herky statues. Please, we have enough. When people visit me from out of town they think it's a cult thing. My toddler nephew cries when he sees them so we have to cover his eyes when we walk past one. My wife is considering leaving me for the Homer Simpson Herky. Please, I love this city, but the bird man is destroying my life and my marriage. The George Floyd mural and the new pi mural. I love the art style of both. The George Floyd mural feels empowering and is reflective of Iowa City's long history of social advocacy. I love the new pi mural because it honors our fresh local ingredients. Least favorite are the parking fees and anti homeless benches. Love the murals. two favorites: Neighborhood of Seasons (Lake side Drive), and Balance (Blackhawk mini park) The mural on the parking ramp on Burlington. I don't care for political statements in public art. Divisive. HATE HATE HATE the angry, UGLY HERKYS! They are a disgrace to and the opposite of Art. THEY ARE INTENDED AND EFFECTIVELY felt and received the same as assault by someone approaching me personally, embodiment toxic masculinity. When I see them, I am repelled, as if the violence inherent in their form is actually threatening me personally. They are absolutely appalling. Why not get them removed, as cities have removed other offensive public figures. In Iowa, that constitutes more than half the population. With the resurgence of violent misogyny arriving with Trump's regime, they bring an increased sense of danger in public spaces. I really like the murals in the alleyways. It's a place where I don't expect art to be and it brings me joy. My least favorite are those huge, ugly murals on Burlington. We need to get rid of the parking ramp murals. They are an embarrassment to Iowa City. I hear nothing but negativity about them when I bring visitors downtown. The dragonfly near Peninsula and the small birds at the Longfellow trail are both fun, relevant pieces that fit seamlessly into their environment. Favorite: mural facing the Senior Center https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 15/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content I like the literary walk (except for its slipperiness). I also enjoy the sculptures at Riverside Crossing Park. The temporary inflatable rabbit show was fun. The temporary swings and other interactive furniture doll exhibits were also fun. The sculptures in the ped mall, like the jazz musicians, feels very lackluster and not reflective of a progressive, arts appreciative community like Iowa City. My favorite is the coexist mural in downtown Iowa City. I really enjoy the murals in downtown Iowa City, such as the Medicine for the Soul! on Iowa Ave. Really dislike the boy getting his shoes tied. Very unimaginative and pedestrian. The Weber sculpture also not interesting .. the two murals on the parking ramps along Burlington Street -the message is odd and combative; they are divisive rather than inspiring and uplifting I love the murals that invite community to help paint (even if we're not very good). It's feels really special to look at a wall and think "I helped make that." Least Favorite -Oracles of Iowa City. It feels political, it feels dividing, it feels negative. It is one of the largest displays at one of the most visible places downtown. So many amazing beautiful artwork displays throughout the city, and this one just.. .. takes all the energy away. It instantly comes to mind every time. I love so much of it! If I HAD to choose, it would be "The Return" by Chris Vance. All the murals are lovely, though. They're my favorite type of public artwork, followed closely by the sculptures. I like the Four Module Piece because it has been part of IC for such a long time and it's of a scale that I like to see in public art; love the literary walk because it feels organic and unexpected. I'm not a big fan of murals, but some around town have grown on me--the airport mural, downtown New Pi's mural, the mural on North Dodge Ace Hardware. Murals, while they are art in public, seem to be great candidates for something for the private sector to pursue in a public-private partnership. I think of the role of the public art committee is to pursue more complex and impactful installations. Sculpture of a father tying a child shoe on the pedmall. Kids are always interacting with it. Sculptures near walkways that reflect local cultural, murals on blank walls that reflect local culture I love the freaky raccoon in the alley near Basta and St. Burch especially. It's a fun and thought provoking detail to brighten the chore of getting from one place to the next. Herky Parade is my least favorite. I would appreciate if the art in Iowa City said more about the residents who love this city than just "there's a university here" The mural on the 200 block of Washington St, I used to walk by it everyday on my way to work/school, and Marshmellow Worm in particular always made me happy. Also the rabbits on the PedMall in 2022-23 Favorite is the literary walk, love the community history aspect and unexpected nature of it. Least favorite is the oracles of Iowa City mural I loved the Bob Satter/Brian Gutheinz fountain on the ped mall growing up in Iowa City. I understand the safety concerns but it was a real community gathering point and should be put back into public view. The replacement is not nearly as enjoyable or a real focal point. I liked the sculpture that was moved to Riverfront Crossings park before it was wrecked/not put back together correctly I really enjoy the downtown murals. They add color, vibrancy, and a sense of place to the downtown atmosphere. I love the mural on the parking ramp off Burlington. It is by far a major piece of art. Oracles of Iowa City Having lived in Florence Italy I usually find the public art work in our cities trivial to pathetic. I fault the boards who select the "art". sculpture of a dad tying a child's shoe; never have I seen a child go by without interacting with it, and many adults do, too. I really enjoy the "oracles" on the side of the parking garage on Burlington. Man on a Bench -love the quirky, placid vibe Favorites: colorful mural downtown USBank lot, fun alleys downtown, new one on Brown, neon lights downtown in Ped Mall Least favorite- parking garages on Burlington Street. Think the overwhelming social statement/sonly support one group. My favorite is "Playful Investigations" because it's interactive, permanent, for both children & adults, and NOT in downtown. There are so many wonderful public art works in IC! Hard to choose a favorite. I work on Washington St. When I take out the garbage in the alley I'm greeted by a robot painting. She is so playful and colorful in that dusty place. Thank you to whomever painted her there! I also like the fish near Hancher, the brain near the Chemistry building, the lighted sculpture with the letters near the river, the quotes embedded in the sidewalks, and more .... The jazz players on the mall is a favorite because it's joyful and speaks to diversity of community. Birds in Flight I enjoy the bright colored alley door murals with the cats because they are fun, bright and modern. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 16/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content No I like the mural in the door of the Record Collector because it uses the space in a clever way and shows the artists unique style. I prefer politically neutral public art that all can enjoy. I love the cowboy mural in the alley off the Ped Mall. I hate the murals on the old capital parking ramp Poppies because it's at a park I take my grandkids to. I don't love the Herkys. They seem less creative and interesting than other projects -there's a formulaic, dial-it-in aspect to them. Iowa City Dance Company's Summer Groove night on Linn St. in July! Least favorite by far: The two angry black man murals on the parking ramp downtown. Intimidating and frightening. When are you FINALLY going to replace them with something more positive????? Muhammad Ali on ICOR boxing and American flag on Newport road Love the large murals Mural in downtown parking lot because it speaks to social change and creates a talking point that a lot of people in Iowa would rather have silenced. Coexist: large, colorful The jazz musicians statue downtown is my favorite. I love the bird painting in the alley between Market, Jefferson, Linn and Dubuque Streets. It's beautiful and in a surprising location. It's a secret gem. the weaponize black privilege monstrosity is my least. Herky on Parade My favorite is the Jazz Musicans on the Ped Mall near Yotopia used to be "Upside Down" in Scott Park walkway Kenneth Snelson sculpture at Riverfront Crossings. It's inspiring and beautiful and a world class piece of art, visible in a very public place. More of that please! No, I love it all. Not in the current inventory, but the inflatable Ped Mall rabbits from a few years ago were fabulous. I love Weatherdance -interactive and adds so much to the ped mall. Also the Sculpture Showcase. Nice to see art rotated out and fresh on a biannual basis. Neither I Love the downtown murals and lighting and all the music at the festivals + filmscene's film series outdoors. It activates and brings our community together! I love the mural art downtown. I see them when I'm walking around downtown, and it feels like exploration and pleasant surprises. I was really excited to see Indigenous art highlighted on the banners downtown also. i loved the little colorful pieces that were attached to the construction fences on dubuque street. it made walking to work fun. I really enjoy the deer mural that was just painted because I work in that area and It brightens the space and makes it less scary to be in. I think it is important to change the perception of a scary looking alley. The Soul Festival Rotating and permanent sculptures present a variety of perspectives. Favorite: Dorothy unfazed by Justine, and the murals have really enlivened spaces. The "weaponize your privilege to save black bodies" mural - -I confess with struggling with the wording of "weaponizing" anything but I respect and support why this mural was created and needed and the end-goal of the message. Art should sometimes make us uncomfortable and think. Least favorite are fancy bike racks that make it harder to lock a bike. Also, not a fan of the sculpture that has moved around and is currently at River Front Crossings. To me, it just looks like urban infrastructure/ electrical transmission line support components, especially in its current configuration. I loved the inflatable bunnies from a few years back. My least favorite is the "Weaponize your privilege to protect black bodies" mural. I find it offensive and promotes violence. It was unnecessary. I love the squiggly lights on the Ped Mall trees in winter. The metal sculpture at the Riverfront Crossings entrance is my least favorite. All of the downtown murals are my favorite, specifically "The Return, 2018" sculptures in downtown areas https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 17/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content Musicians on ped mall I love murals. The airport mural and the alley mural off Dubuque St. next to Sports Column are both fantastic. Least favorite: the sculpture that was removed a year or so ago from next to the Scott Park Trail just east of Scott Blvd. Murals downtown Iowa Ave. Irving Weber with all the knit scarves Least fav ... the weoponize mural on Burlington ... it's ugly and perhaps devisive ... much better designs and messages to promote human rights and equity. Large colorful mural downtown I love the mural facing the courtyard at the Bike Library. I don't love the weaponize your privilege mural on Burlington but don't feel it needs to be taken down. Ps1 yard Favorites: The Jazz Trio Sculpture and Father Tying Child's Shoe Sculpture in the Ped Mall Bird murals near Brewery Square. They're very well done and compliment the space perfectly. My favourite piece is along the Old Cap Mall ramp (Oracles of Iowa City) Appreciate sculptures at Terry Trueblood and Meteer Park. No least favorite, enjoy seeing any public art. Murals on Old Capitol Mall Parking ramp. They are exclusionary of other groups that suffer from the same indignities. Downtown murals favorite and Airport favorite I love the many murals on sides of buildings throughout downtown and close-to downtown, i.e., George's Buffet, the dramatic blue and white mural near Clinton Street Art pieces along the walking trails. The murals on the Old Capital parking ramp offend me. As a member of the community, I shouldn't feel threatened by the public art. NA Favorite is Oracles of Iowa City: mildly controversial and a constant, necessary reminder to keep pushing towards racial equity I simply appreciate all that I have seen. No Least favorite is the "Zombie" murals on the parking ramp on the corner of Burlington and Clinton. I find these wasteful, offensive, and discriminatory. I love the art sculptures in the downtown, walking plaza, the jazz players, and the one by the children's playground Least favorite -ugly, enormous murals on Burlington I like the mural at the Bike Library called Petrichor because it's a community mural with a good message, local artist support, biodiversity and doesn't feel homogeneous like some of the other murals around town. Sidewalk plaques, musician sculpture on Ped Mall "Weaponize" on the parking garage -too confrontational/violent I think the art pieces at Riverfront Crossings Park are neat Hickory Hill Park Least: most murals. Fav: Caruso umbrella in Des Moines Least favorite: George Floyd. Favorite: the fountain on the ped mall. I love the public pianos. The alleyway murals: I love stumbling upon art across town. I've lived here several years and still find new things. Birds in flight on the Greenway i love the murals on the parking garage near the old capitol mall, they send a strong message about our communities values, and inspire me to help change my community for the better I like the "black bodies" message on the parking ramp and the one across from the senior center. I haven't been able to figure out the art installations in the parking ramps for some reason -which are sound, etc. Three Sisters in Chadek. The Herky statues are tacky and ugly. I wish they were inside the businesses that purchased/sponsored them, so that they didn't mar the cityscape. Triaxial https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 18/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM least favorite or big murals looks tacty and is very temporary least favorite is the statues on Scott bu I/1st ave extention Palco I Content I like when the city doesn't control every aspect of public art. A public inventory of art is not the only art I'm interested in seeing in this town. I really loved the large stacked white "stones" that were at Scott and Rochester and am sad they are no longer there, though they may have been privately owned Hate all the bowling Herkys. Love Irving Weber. Love the literature plates on sidewalks. Favorite: The light display on the alley way by Jason Snell. Least favorite: the Homer Herky. It's hideous. Sprites, Goosetown and Northside neighborhood street sign toppers. More neighborhood-identifier signs/art would be nice. Mural -says Weaponize-I do not think the term weaponize should be used as it has violent undertones I love the variety! FAVORITE -PEDESTRIAN MALL SCULPTURES The murals, because they are colorful and anyone can view them. the benches downtown. We really enjoy seeing them change as they're repainted. Second would be murals, anywhere! Burlington Street Parking Garage -"Weaponize your privilege to save black bodies" and "Black Joy needs no permission" The message from both of these works are degrading to black people and imply that white people in today's society are racist and are keeping black people from succeeding in society. You are telling black people that they are being discriminated against and they cannot fend for themselves, they are weaker and not as qualified as a white person. The message these murals send is: "It's not your fault if you fail it's society's fault. Don't worry we will lower the standards and have quotas that will give you -the black person -advantages and preferential treatment." this promotes a divide between hardworking nonblack individuals and black individuals and plants a seed of doubt in the individual getting the preferential treatment. These messages encourage racism and offend people of all colors. Both of these divisive graffiti murals should be removed and replaced with a picture that promotes hope and love for everyone. (I wanted to cite the hideous Herkey statues, but the City isn't responsible for those monstrosities.) We like the Snellson, but feel colorful lighting could better complement the piece. I'm really happy that we have a public art program in our city and fully support the continued care of existing works within the public art inventory no Alleyways are a favorite Like them all. .. My favorite sculpture is Jazz, my next favorite is Simple Flight. Flying Geese along Sycamore Trail is nice and also mural along wall by old police substation near Casey's gas station is nice. I love building murals, I would prefer that they are not necessarily billboards for political agendas but art for the sake of art expression. No Love the murals, downtown lights around trees, tornado sculpture if its scale were larger to reflect the actual power of a tornado, writer's walk on iowa and glass and steel sculpture in the ped mall. Least favorite is the lighting installation above the alley by studio 13. It is much too bright and intrusive. It is so bright it obscures my vision when I'm driving in the alley a block away which I have to do for my job. N/a Birds in Flight, Sycamore Trail No I can think of at least 3 eyesore buildings I see on a daily basis that have sat vacant with minimal maintenance in the three years one lived here. All are owned by Barkalow. Maybe we could erect wooden walls at the sidewalk with murals hiding eyesores after two summers without occupants. I also really liked finding all the Herkys in my 2024. Let good people sponsor such things and then maybe take home after for residential display. No Favorite the social justice art on the parking garage. Promotes thought and reflection. Favorite is Rodin sculpture by law buildings My favorite work is the mural on the Bloomington Head Start building in the northside. It helped turn a sad building into something special that benefits the students, parents, and teachers that use the school, but also brightens the neighborhood. It is profoundly uncommercial and I think anything that gets away from "creative placemaking" which is really just an urban planning commodification of public art is a good thing. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 19/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content The mural by Sayuri Sasaki Hemann and the UAY kids on Washington Street https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 20/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content Is there a public art project or installation you've seen in another community that you really liked?

I do like the tornado by Zimmer I have seen numerous road murals in Boston and Seattle that bring together community, traffic safety, and art! It is an amazing and low cost way to have traffic calming + art The Pothole Mosaics in Chicago -they're just whimsical and fun Dublin has painted their electric boxes and really added to the City-they made something ugly into something beautiful. In Minneapolis they have something called the Greenway. Its a HUGE bike path with a ton of murals on it. I've always really admired that. The Walker Art Museum also has these amazing metalic stone sculptures (look up Untitled by Jim Hodges) that I think are a fun combo of art+ nature. I have seen a city wide color scheme among florals, modern looking planters that give a nice cohesive look to the various neighborhoods and think that has been done well in larger cities. I don't get out of Iowa City. Wabash Lights, Chicago. Interactive and links to public transportation I like generally when I visit a new neighborhood and there is cool and unique public art all over the place. I like public art that immediately identifies where people are in pictures. Like the Chicago "bean" or the spoon with the cherry in Minneapolis. Very distinct and well known. The passengers outside the CID airport Sculpture Park in downtown Des Moines. The garden spaces in New York City are gorgeous and have lots of benches and plants and trees. Compare this with College Green Park or City Park. I know I just said we don't need to copy other places, but plants are timeless. Cloud Gate in Millennium Park, Chicago; Freedom of the Human Spirit, Corona Park, NYC; A Dedication to the Future, Fisher Community Center, Marshalltown, IA, Crusoe Umbrella, Cowels Commons, Des Moines, IA I like the digital projection display in Cedar Rapids. That could open up doors for many digital artists. Des Moines metro art on mile marker panels along biking/walking trails. It was a nice surprise and added to the enjoyment of the trails, easy to install. I thought the bunnies you could interact with a QR code in the Pedmall last year were really cool! I'm honestly not thinking of something right now, but art that highlights the history and culture of a place and from which I can learn something is always appreciated. Nashville seems to have a lot of art in public spaces. Boulder Colorado adds charm and character to their downtown very tastefully at every turn. I love walking the streets there. I also consider trees and landscaping as an artform that is truly breathtaking when done well. no The spiral notebook and letter sculpture on U of Nebraska campus because I see something different in it each time. The woman in the box in the Sheldon sculpture garden-it's an example of social change art done well. The reading man at Harvest Preserve is a wonderful IC image. I' e seen benches that look like open books that think would be perfect for IC, but cannot remember where. Metal Sculptures by Eric Mart I would love to see a river walk of art sculptures and benches Dubuque's murals throughout its downtown are awesome I have seen an artistically created splash pad/river in the downtown of Saint George, Utah. It looks nice (all and is a gathering place for families and children in the middle of the summer. It also has sculptures around it that are beautiful. I enjoy the interactive art in the ped mall MLK statue in DC because it was imposing and connected to an educational opportunity (museum) https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 21/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Hmmm, homework for another survey. no More theater! Live performance. Let the diy scene in! Palco I Content Asphalt Art projects in Fort Collins, Colorado to enhance beauty and safety all at once: https://www.fcgov.com/bicycling/asphaltart trash play pit Really like the artwork in downtown Chicago Park; it attracts a lot of people and many selfies. I like the incredible fantasy wood sculptures in Scandinavia (and elsewhere) that represent folklore, or the mythology of indigenous peoples. European cities with interesting architecture ... we severely lack cool building exteriors. Of course, Cloud Gate "the Bean" in Millenium Park in Chicago simply because so many people have come to see it. some kind of "super furniture" to occupy and activate the PED mall space Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Des Moines b/c it makes world class art accessible to everyone and is outdoors. Madison WI has neighborhood music festivals partially funded with city arts funding to raise$$ for neighborhood community centers, and each is unique and attracts musicians and visitors from across the US. River Walk in Lincoln (engages natural environment) DSM sculpture park (high quality art) cedar rapids czech village entry arch -could be more visually interesting, but like the idea of some sort of signage reflecting the history of different neighborhoods I like the art installations on the Riverwalk in Dubuque, Iowa, especially since the art is temporary so that we're seeing something new each time and new artists are given an opportunity to show off their work. Her Secret is Patience, Phoenix AZ. The lighting elements are nice and it creates a unique space beneath while also having an equally nice but different effect from further away. Above I mentioned the woven sculptures and huts that I saw a few years ago at the Brooklyn botanical garden. I like the organic feel and the interactivity (you could touch and feel, get inside, etc) Indianapolis has a lot of murals of community leaders -and often in personal, informal poses (laughing, thinking -not in "portrait mode"). They're really striking and connect to the neighborhood and community history. We made the owl sculptures in Houston, MN a family trip destination. Organized around a theme that existed in the town already (the International Owl Center), finding the sculptures led us in a tour around the town. Kind of like the Herkys but more fine art, less pop culture. One of my kids really likes owls and we enjoyed exploring the town including a natural playground. The sculptures were made from a variety of materials in a variety of styles by several local artists (wood carvings, repurposed bicycle parts, metal, concrete and glass). Most of the sculptures were accompanied by an informational sign about a different owl species, so there was a visual and an informational component. I like the Uptown Alley project in Marion. They took an eyesore and made the area fun. Iowa City has done some of that as well. I'd like to see more. It's partially public art and partially a safety tool -Madison has flags that are used to cross busy streets without crosswalks (Burlington and Lucas). I've seen other iterations that include "bricks" (brick look-alikes) that the pedestrian carries across the street to keep cars alert. Another option could be glowsticks for heightened visibility. I love visiting Naperville, Illinois. They always have interesting art on display throughout their downtown. Pier 2 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan! A mix of murals, interactive art, and sculptures concentrated in a publicly available area that also has events like performances, markets, pop-ups, etc. tiny libraries are my personal favorite Laurel, Mississippi murals! Not anything specific, but I really like the Walker Sculpture Garden in Minneapolis. Des Moines Sculpture Park has 2 Man in the Moon sculpture that are interesting. Actually, the whole Sculpture Garden ... Reiman Gardens in Ames has different art featured each year. This makes me want to go yearly to see the new things. There are a couple of newer murals in Cleveland that were painted on buildings that have recently been rebuilt or majorly fixed as they were basically collapsing before and I like that these places that were really bad before have the chance to look nice and be special even if the buildings still aren't in use. Spoon bridge and cherry, Minneapolis, whimsical, symbol of the community, and sparks conversations As I've recently traveled cities in Oregon, Washington, San Juan Islands, and various communities between Iowa City and North Carolina, one of the greatest pleasures seen throughout even small towns are murals. Their effect on neighborhoods, downtowns, residential areas made us feel the town was more accessible for all, more welcoming. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 22/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content I appreciate seeing art in areas of town where it is more residential and less "touristy." Especially if it's near a lower-income area or in a public park. Honestly I love sculptures that give us the opportunity to "caper" around them for photos (mimicking the poses of human subjects, etc.). You also can't go wrong with giant bugs. LA has beautifully decorated trash cans; San Francisco has lovely bus stops; murals in LA's art district; Seattle's sculpture garden; Chicago's Lurie Gardens Des Moines sculpture park is an amazing example of something that is highly visible and accessible to both the community and serves as a tourism asset that showcases an appreciation for forward thinking arts. Music played on street light poles in Leclaire, Iowa. I love the Ira Keller Fountain in downtown Portland, OR. The scale of it is likely out of context for Iowa City, but our city has a lack of proper fountains that I noticed after a visit to Kansas City with its hundreds of fountains. I'm always pleased to see unusual functional architecture, like the street-crossing bridge downtown. Architect's name starts with A, I think. also the Gehry building on/in the river. I haven't seen them in person, but Andy Goldsworthy earthworks art pieces are amazing! They fit in so well to a natural setting such as the Project GREEN Gardens at Ashton House. I've always viewed flyers and posters as art. I miss seeing them around town. I don't know that this is "public art" but everything at this exhibit was so cool: https://www.exploratorium.edu/visit/calendar/glow? glowcampaign&gad_source=1&gclid=EAlalQobChMlm-6y0MOOigMVEhqtBh3deCUQEAAYASAAEgl0UPD_BwE Anything with lights and colors brings people of all ages together (but of course is costly, and more difficult to maintain than a static piece) The goose in Goosetown is really fun I like feeling welcomed into my neighborhood and it has personality! As well as the string lights in the alley behind the Englert --which also makes that space feel safer at night. I love the art on the overpasses and sides of bridges in Albuquerque, NM. The Pappajohn Sculpture Park in Des Moines is an absolute delight. IC should be thinking on this kind of scale when it comes to sculpture. While I don't necessarily think we need a sculpture park, we could use more sculpture throughout the community--perhaps in partnership with the UI. For example, a large sculpture installation at City Park or the entrance of Hancher along Park Road would further enhance that gateway into town. Sioux Falls SD and Urbana Illinois come to mind. Sioux Falls for its downtown art and Urbana for its Park Art. I believe both rotate some and keep some permanently. I think Iowa City should add onto the already existing Rec Center Gardens. I wish there was more space & more gardening skill sharing. I think this is something many residents would enjoy but is not always accessible with many residents renting apartments. Sculpture park art at MIA in Minneapolis Copenhagen's sidewalk trampolines. So much spontaneous joy in something very simple Tucson's mural program is a real point of community beautification and pride. It makes the city feel special and the murals relate to community history and location. I like the sculpture garden in Des Moines. In general, I like landscape/public aboretums and would love more public gardens available. Coralville public library's historical images pasted onto local buildings. I liked the community effort it involved and how it's naturally deteriorating. Altoona had been placing sculptures within their roundabouts. It is visually pleasing and gets a wide and varied audience. The community mosaic on the side of the Sue Ross Art Center in Kirksville, MO. I don't care too much about the actual imagery, as it's just basic butterflies, but it was made in collaboration with the local school district and other members of the public to create all of the tiles. Then a local ceramicist glazed/fired them all to be integrated into a composition. I helped the organizers make many of the tiles and decorated some myself. It's very fun to go look at the finished piece to try and find where your tile ended up; creates tangible representation of community and is more rewarding to view due to one's personal contribution to the project. Rick Lowe: Project Row Houses is a development in the Third Ward area of Houston, Texas. And Mel Chin: Revival Field, Pig's Eye Landfill near St. Paul, Minn. Florence Italy, for one, need I say or name more? Fountains or other water inspired art There are several installations that I really enjoyed that are located in the Neon district in Norfolk, VA where I used to live. "Spirit of Idaho Women" on the Idaho State Capitol grounds, Boise. Combines both historical and aspirational references. Key West. Several amazing pieces-both murals and sculptures. Addressing the LOCAL history from early explorers to slave ship history to local people. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 23/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content So many. Running out of time for this right now ... Soundgarten in Seattle because the sound leads you to it and the visual encourages you to stay. The hammering man outside the Seattle Art Museum because it captures the imaginative and encourages contemplation. The troll under the Fremont bridge in Seattle because it brings joy and encourages imaginative interactions The city of Cincinnati has many incredible murals in its downtown area! Love them. Iowa River Landing in Coralville along Quarry Road near the Hyatt Hotel & IC Area Assoc. of Realtors office, there is a silver metal sculpture in the shape of a woman with some of the metal pieces that the sculpture is made of looking like leaves or vines; really beautiful and really caught my eye Mural Festivals No The City of Moline recently had multiple large scale murals and selected local artists intentionally to help emerging artists build their portfolio so they have the experience to apply to larger projects that require previous experience. Not that I can think of Murals by college art students students Sculpture gardens where people can interact with the sculptures. It was fun to take photos and get really close to the art. Choreography festivals in Des Moines. It was fun to see different artists bring their creativity and engage the public. It was a fun night out. Not exactly public art, but the condo and apartment areas of Hillsboro Oregon around a smaller mall/ farmers market on the Sunday parking lot for that mall, that area has stunning red brick buildings with black wrought iron railings, flowers, hanging flower baskets, and small exquisite restaurants. It is an absolute delight to walk through this area, safe, and stop, shop and eat there. Minneapolis, their abundance and large scope across the city is phenomenal. Mirror bean, Chicago, it is interesting and draws a people together for enjoyment Sign lettering works created for local businesses The longest bench in the world, located in Barcelona. Everyone can sit on it, with friends or next to strangers, whether rich or poor, black or white, gay or straight, young or old. Epcot, had a Duck Tales scavenger hunt where you looked for displays and art, and when you found it you checked in on your phone, and it made art open or play music. It was cool and interactive. I believe Lost Island in Waterloo had something similar in their theme park. The phone app scavenger hunt seems like something Iowa City could do with lots of their murals. It was similar to geocaching. Art on the Mart "I See What You Mean" (aka: the big blue bear) in Denver. Noguchi's Play Sculptures. "Impulse" seesaws. Cloud Gate in Chicago. The reason I love these are because they spark joy in a wide range of ages and are both iconic and interactive to some degree. I loved the dance performance that happened on the northside. I loved how we got to both watch and participate! The dancers were amazing and I didn't know we had a dance company until that day. Not a particular installation but I think there are several opportunities for artistic lighting installation and/or project art in the downtown area. UIOWA has a huge collection of PUBLIC ART. Lets see grand exhibitions by our community artists works in a respectful and accessible space. It would be amazing if there was a community art gallery in the Iowa City Public Library! Dubuque has city murals, and the art museum hands out maps to help find them. not sure if this is ic art or university art, but the biology building bridge with the colored windows is so pretty. The sculpture park in Des Moines is so interactive and vast. It would be great to get something similar here. This was in the past but local to Iowa City --I absolutely loved the Prairie Box installation that was in Blackhawk mini park and wish it had been a permanent installation. I also love the Troy Hill Art Houses in Pittsburgh: https://www.troyhillarthouses.com/ Iconic pieces that identify with a city, like The Bean in Chicago. Chicago's bean (cloud gate) I love the scale and style of several of the murals in Minneapolis. The ones of the loon and of Bob Dylan come to mind as being amazing. Mason City also has a nice collection of murals that are stylistically similar that I really liked. Lighting display in artistically designed way. Fountains are nice Bridge ribbon art Des Moines sculpture garden. World class. Cows on Parade in Chicago ... The juxtaposition of a bustling urban environment with touches rural calm. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 24/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content The murals along the Greenway in Minneapolis. I really appreciated these pieces highlighted and celebrated the diversity of the city and its neighborhoods while literally winding through them. Plus, all of the pieces are only really viewable on foot or by bike, which makes them far easier to view and appreciate. River City Sculptures on Parade, Mason City IA Walkable, appeals to families and people of all ages. Chihuly Bridge of Glass, Tacoma, WA Downtown Mason City. Art on every corner with a walking art map to include McNeider Art Museum and Library. Plus a walking map to see historic homes. Just about anything in the Des Moines Sculpture Garden. I love sculptures that have water flowing through them. Pappajohn Sculpture Park in DSM No on the wall in city hall Upcycled trees damaged by a hurricane. Some were left in place, but painted or decorated to honor the losses. No There are other cities that support local emerging artists specifically. It's important to support local Iowa artists because other states are providing that for their own artists to be able to grow their portfolios which is essential when applying for large work. A lot of the public art work in town was done by one person who has more then enough established experience to move forward while not allowing those opportunities to be available to other local artists to also grow. For being a small city for the arts you should support and provide a wider range of paying opportunities to artists not just only one artist. Especially when the artist is not doing their own style but instead copying a generic theme many artists could successfully complete. I like the sculptures at the Western Gateway Park in Des Moines. They are big and unique. Above Kosciusko Graffiti Wall in St. Louis. Annually, artists (and I believe community members too) have a day that they paint a contribution to the wall which will remain up there for a year. Then next year, artists will paint over the old designs with new ones. If we had similar here, I think it would be great to have it open to community members, so kids and people who want to try out art would be able to participate and contribute to the designs. Or it could even be a paint by numbers situation where a group of artists design an annual mural and anyone can pop in and help paint a patch. In Cedar Rapids, we visited the exotic pet store. On the way although it was desolate, certain intersections had amazing art! Statues of past presidents polk would be a good one to start with War memoreals for WW2, Korea and vietnam I like the boards in other communities that give a place for the public to put their art and aren't policed by the city itself. Long term art projects that are city sanctioned are not the only kinds of art I want to see. I also like seeing things that lead me to finding art. Digital projections on buildings in the center of Indianapolis. Love it for the whimsical touch to buildings that would otherwise stand dark and empty at night. Creates a reason for people to come downtown/linger downtown in the evenings. The mosaic tile stairways in SF, CA; the highly reflective "bean", okay, cloud in Chicago, while I don't love it exactly, I love how playful it is and how much people enjoy finding themselves inside via its highly polished reflective metal surface. Anything with lots of color and light, and hey, how about found object art that takes trash out of the landfill?! NA Fountains, developed river districts I saw a story about a herd of elephants that are being created in Africa out of "lantana vine" (an invasive). Local African artists are sculpting them. The Chicago Bean-it is unique and a focal point that brings people together Pappajohn Sculpture Park Des Moines I love cities that have murals-often surprising ones-on blank building walls. Interactive temporary installations. Most have been in Amsterdam. Example: lighted swings which played different tones based on which swings were active and the tempo of the swing. Temporary installations are neat, but a community rooted in art provides/ encourages space for such temporary installations to happen! The Freedom Rocks in every county in Iowa Sioux Falls, SD They have sculpture placements throughout their downtown. more interactive and immersive public art installations https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 25/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content I like that Santa Fe encourages art in every possible corner --restaurants, courtyards, everywhere. It makes the city feel like a gallery/museum. lots of nice murals in south Omaha Chicago-downtown ... The Bean (Cloud Gate). Immense mirrored bean that one can walk under and around. Having lived in Europe for 20 years, I find public fountains, green gardens, planters, benches, sculpture and car free zones the best. Sun Voyager in Iceland -art of this nature and scale that reflects the history of the community in an iconic way. City Museum in St. Louis -it promotes community partnerships and identity, tourism, and both interaction and connection with and through art using a lot recycled materials in creative and just ways.

I like the structure in Greene Square Park, Cedar Rapids. The artwork of heads outside the Art museum there is also nice. Wall murals in towns like Laramie Wyoming and Chicago A collage of influential people of the community, giving them a spotlight and thank you for all they have done to improve their area. I like what they do up in St. Paul with their City Artist program that brings artists into the fold of the workings of the City to help give an artistic perspective to CIPs and other city happenings (like how they gather public feedback, that was an awesome project) -vs. viewing public art as some sort of superfluous add-on after the fact that we use to embellish our community.

Temp art brings variety and I love when those are interactive like the installments in the ped mall this summer. I also enjoy the more permanent art with the statues and wayfinding signage.

Permanent for certain things, like murals and focal points, temporary for along trails and other locations Both. While permanent is nice, I like it being changed periodically. I enjoy semi permanent public art. There were faces along 1-80 near dodge street for a while that slowly eroded away. I thought those were amazing. Permanent While I do love the temporary popups, I think that it is worth investing more money into permanent installations that maybe get changed every few years.

Both serve a purpose Permanent. But it could be fun to have something be a rotating art. Like there could be a permanent spot for a sculpture, but it changes every 6 months or so. But I generally like permanent art (as long as it is art I like, but I like most of the public art I see in Iowa City) Everything is temporary but I would say art installations should be up for at least a few years at a minimum. Either, as long as it is welcoming. The more it excites a child, the better it is!

I think permanent art installations are great for everyday items (city benches, sidewalks, murals, etc) while I think dedicated installation spaces (sculptures and such) are better served as pop ups to bring new interest to the space as time passes as well as giving new artists a chance to showcase their work. A good mix of both is ideal. permanent I think we need both, but I think there should always be at least a couple of temporary installations that are up for a "season". I think this will promote people specifically using it as a destination and conversation ... something like Herkys on parade, but it doesn't have to be that big of a deal. permanent though pop-ups can add variety Yes! (eg, both) Permanent i like the variety of changing exhibits like the rabbits that were downtown but also enjoy the permanent pieces permanent (or semi-permanent, like murals until the paint wears away) make sense for a lot of locations but it is nice to have at least one set of rotating art, like the changing sculptures along the bike path. I like that Iowa City has both. I prefer the popups--more artists get exposure and more tastes can be accommodated. Permanent I think pop up art is great. It gives people an excuse to get out in their community, and takes away the feeling of "oh I'll get to it later". temporary A mix of both I enjoy permanent artwork in the sense that I know that that specific space will remain decorated and eye-catching, but pop up art allows for whimsy and public participation in a way that permanent art does not. One cool way to mesh these two things is to follow the model of the benches downtown; benches will consistently be decorated, but with different art each time. A mix of both Both Definitely permanent public art! Left for all to enjoy and more accessible -not everyone can make time to, afford to attend pop-up events/temporary performances when they happen. I like the interactive pop-ups, but always wish they could just be "ours" so people would know how cool we are.:) Temporary probably allows for more variety over time -not sure if it's more expensive in comparison to permanent pieces. permanent No preference A mix. I see that value in both, but I would like to see some new NON-MURAL permanent artworks. I love murals everywhere, but none specifically. Balance of both Both Permenant. temporary Permanent I think we need more of both to be honest Either Both are good and have their appeal permanent Temp or pop up https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 29/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content Both.

Permanent Permanent No preference A mix of both is nice I prefer permanent but both are great and necessary to keep things fresh and exciting. Permanent It depends on the location and context. Permanent installations for key locations go a long way for placemaking. Temporary art is better for certain forms--especially in a place like Blackhawk park on the ped mall. Both are good! permanent Both Both, but with limited resources I would prioritize permanent over pop-up. Both are cool, I enjoy the seasonal ones downtown because it feels like I'm walking through an exhibit. permanent Permanent--let's invest in our public spaces in ways that communicate our city's commitment to art, creativity, and bringing delight to its residents. Permanent both I prefer a combination. Both! The more the merrier! temporary/pop up Pop up public art and Pop up as a supplement Both Permanent art I enjoy both Permanent I like both. If it is a permanent installation, like city of literature blocks--it should be well maintained. They are horrible right now! Permanent Permanent, so it actually adds to the identity of the space Both and I like both Permanent I think both are valuable as permanent works have longevity and accumulate, beautifying a town over time. However, the forms permanent installs can take are more limited than temporary because of their permanence. Temporary works allow for more creativity and often community interaction, which I believe is important for public art. They provide wider opportunities for artists to be creative/engage with their communities Both but investment pieces like the aforementioned works and an art center create infrastructure and national funding. PS1 is great but their mission differs from an art center but their board would be instrumental on an IC GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Art Center, Museum Committee) to help envision and direct this. please nothing permanent here!

Leave Parks and Recs to pop-up and support rotating exterior works. Use the public art budget to showcase works by the public who lives here. That way people can better understand what grows here and who there neighbors are. permanent no preference I don't have a preference. I like both and think they compliment each other. I love both! pop up art allows for more artists to be featured, less of a commitment/low stress for new artists, but love permanent art to show I like the pop up ones because it gives more artists more chances to get their work seen and it leaves the community excited for what is next. For example the bunnies were so cool and I still think about them. Temporary or rotating installations give more opportunity to more local artists. I think it's important to have a mix of both --I wouldn't privilege one over the other. Permanent. Some of the temporary have been good. However, I don't support pop-up art that engages or inspires people to do things like leave knitted, painted rocks or other items in naturalized parks like Hickory Hill or Terry Trueblood. Knitted items, especially, are hazards to wildlife in places meant to limit or prevent human imprint. The birds in flight at Sycamore are nice but too much art in natural areas feels like, well, too much, unless you are expressly creating a sculpture park. Either Permanent. a mix of both Pop-up both permanent Either. Depends on the type of art and where it's located. I think both bring a lot of interest in our city. A mix of both is nice.

I probably prefer permanent art installments including, strangely, things that I consider "eyesore" or "I just don't get it" art, because I understand you can't please everyone all the time.

Spread the art and creativity to more parts of the City. So so happy for any and more art stuff happening and I'd love to be involved More art please You're doing a great job. The downtown murals are beautiful. Would love to see more in the neighborhoods. Also love murals. It would be nice to increase these, if possible. No Hiring a bunch of people to tear down stickers and flyers put up by community members was a mistake on the city's part. The opportunity to promote one's art and message to the community should not be reserved for those who have the money and privilege to go through official channels to display their art. Some of the community's most talented artists may never have that chance, and the community loses out when we show them there is no place for them here. No Love the amount of art our community gets to see and participate with every year. Would love to see art spread throughout the community. Don't be overly political-vis a vie the parking ramp mural text I have always very much enjoyed Four Module Piece by Kenneth Snelson. However, I believe it should be displayed in the original configuration, and at ground level. Be bold, think big, be inclusive, seek excellence Keep up the great work. I am not so big on the sculptures in the parks and along the Iowa River Trail. I would rather sea nature when I am in nature. It doesn't need beautifying while the concrete fabric of the city does. People like voting on things/competitions. Maybe could do artwork on buses, and so there is like 26 different artworks. But then at the end of the year people vote for their favorite 4 and those 4 get to stay on the buses and the other 22 change to different artworks. Also in general I really love murals. More murals please! Also maybe this can't be done because of safety reasons, but I do like creatively painted crosswalks. Good luck and art is more important than ever! I love this town and want visitors staying in the hotels to comment how beautiful everything is here. I want to be proud to be a part of this community. Please incorporate welcoming, warmth, beauty and joy in your decisions. no No What about creative plantings I. Our public spaces that go along with literary themes since we are a UNESCO city of lit. That does not seem to be well advertised or made apparent to visitors. Yes the lit sculpture walk but I always have toe plain it. There's no major UNesco sign and description. no other suggestions or comments No I would love to learn how I can contribute to the painted benches downtown More money allocated for more art and artists. Perhaps in neighborhoods where population may not have much public art. no do more with local musicians Fewer cops please, and less catering to tourism. Focus on locals and putting in more parks. It's a shame that the "Greatest Small City for the Arts" has little to no art in our largest public space, the street network. Not at this time. Be certain to advertise and celebrate every new acquisition or installation. The quotes in the sidewalks downtown need to be redone. That was a brilliant idea along with the plaques. More kids art on display, more artwork for sale by locals I think it would be great if public art was installed out on trails where people have to walk to encounter the art. However, it needs to thoughtful and not just plopping down any old sculpture. It would be nice to have more art that people engage with rather than just view--even if engaging means sitting on or walking through. Art that engages with the environment or environmental issues would also be good. Hopefully it will spill over into Coralville! I think we need a botanical garden. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 35/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content Outside the front of City Hall desparately needs public art (besides the travelling Herky statues) to commemorate the public and public employees. more participatory art -that the community or local kids can contribute to making Work with the ICPD to stop the shutting down of musical performances. Noise complaints are understandable, but if music is being played at a reasonable hour then live music performance should not be shut down. Prioritize maintenance of current works. Keep it up! ... and add that garden component. Just make sure the art is high quality -"experimental" or trainee public art is usually a huge disappointment. no I'm sure the city had its reasons, but I thought it was sad the bus stop sustainablility-themed art was only up for a month. It is a great idea to use the bus stops for art, and I wondered if 3-6 months for a particular design might make more sense due to the amount of time it takes to design and install the artwork, and the fact that it takes some time to visit all the different stops. But above all, thank you for funding such a delightful public art program with a variety of themes! Family and friends who visit from out of town regularly comment on how lovely our public art is. Thanks for all you do. NA Set aside money for routine state-wide, national or international competitions based on a brief arrived at with the participation of the University of Iowa School of Art and Art History Iowa City is an innovative and creative place and I feel that public art here reflects that. Keep up the good work! This is how locals and visitors connect with the community and foster relationships, it should be wholeheartedly supported and celebrated at all costs. Stop normalizing the abnormal. There are only two genders, and that is determined in the womb. City Park could use more public art, but it needs to be suitable to potential flood risk. I think Iowa City is doing a fantastic job, but if funding exists, there can never be too much art of any kind! Like the mix of permanent and interactive and art for kids. End the tearing down of flyers and posters downtown and elsewhere, support more artistic events and performances outside of those affiliated with the University of Iowa, make it easier and more accessible for local artists and musicians to display or perform their work in public spaces It seems like most mural jobs go to already established artists so as a local artist I'd like to see more opportunities to support new artists. Could have a mentorship program or have new artist assist the muralists in completing a project. Adding public art to parks, walk ways (Sycamore Greenway, e.g.) See Q9 The University has amazing public art, the City has some great pieces too. Both collections are spread all over in some very hidden away locations. If there was a way to collaboratively bring both together it would enhance both the Ul/student and broader community experience. A purpose built park where pieces from both collections could be brought together or rotated would be a great addition to the City. Keep up the good work! The 2 downtown sculptures with green glass and stone are MUCH better now, separated. Together they seemed mass produced. Install a nature themed piece at the Ashton House -there is an amazing amount of "traffic" along the River trail, and lots of people wander the grounds regularly. With the new REAP Grant improvements (tire pit and bird blind especially) an art piece would be a wonderful addition to the site. Please lift the poster/flyer on ban! What a huge loss for the community. Those are both simultaneously art and also promotions for art. Banning them is hypocrital and elitist. "We love art but no, not like that:· I love the work you do. The public art across Iowa City is such an important part of what makes me proud to live here. (Especially, to get political, in days when it feels harder and harder to want to stick around the state of Iowa.) n/a Bring back posters, flyers, and graffiti! They are integral to the local artist community, the city banning and removing them is contradictory to saying the city "supports public art." Controlling the art that is available is not supporting public art, it's minimizing it.

For Question 7, I answered "Not Enough" for "Iowa City has _______ public art:· However, it doesn't mean I'm dissatisfied. I love all the works you've inspired and supported. I just think there's always room for more!:-) Think bigger. Outdoor sculptures need to be larger scale to have impact. Some of the installations I've seen along trails, while visually appealing, seem too small for the environment. And think incrementally--like lighting the Park Road bridge--just this little thing elevates an already attractive part of our infrastructure. Consider how to elevate the entrance signs--raising them--making the letters bigger--adding a some more sculptural elements--to elevate them. One of the reasons I like the literary walk is that it elevates and enhances the sidewalk. Install a sculpture park or large permanent installation of the SW corner of 1st Ave and Muscatine. We are over saturated with murals. The whole Herkey thing is in bad taste. I would love to see traveling sculptures, exchanges between communities .... or a concentrated space like Des Moines has for their sculptures. Focus on culture and community pride. Don't politicize or lecture. For example celebrating a first or significant event by a black activist or artist is inspiring and encourages us. Protest art as public art infuriates and divides more than it helps. I am a progressive who cringes when public space is used to shame and lecture. n/a would love to see more art festivals Downtown has lots of murals, lighting, and the temporary exhibitions-I'd like to see more focus on other neighborhoods and their history Fix the city of literature stuff. It's an embarrassment. Don't be so obsessed with having everything downtown. Have artsy benches at more bus stops. Have interactive activities to make public art like bus bench painting. Create a vision and begin building it. Give up. But first get rid of the CID Airport welcome sculptures Keep it funded. no This survey was great-and made aware of it by NextDoor via my email. And I took advantage of participating. But otherwise I find that public art information is not readily/easily public or perhaps publicized. Prioritize art in locations literally anywhere but downtown, please! Of course all the art downtown is wonderful and a point of pride for our community. I loved experiencing it when I was in college at UI. BUT! Downtown is not very accessible for the majority of long-term Iowa Citians. Most of us rarely have a reason to go there on a regular basis. Especially thinking about this from a DEi lens, the lack of public art in areas other than downtown is yet another way in which resources are distributed inequitably, yet another way our city underserves communities of color. (To be clear, I myself am White, but antiracism is even MORE necessary because of that.) I'd love to see art that celebrates and showcases IC's UNESCO city of literature designation Please bring back Birds in Flight. It was taken down a few years ago for, I believe, repair or refurbishing, and has never come back. I used to enjoy seeing it along my walks. There should be more projects to support Iowa artists. No The 2011/2012 Master Plan for the Riverfront Crossings Area suggested building artist lofts with work/retail spaces on the first floor for the artist to sell their work but it does not look like that is a realistic option any time soon. I think a small community of these with an open courtyard in the middle would be a interesting option to consider building below the CoExist Mural Downtown to support local art. Thank you and keep up the good work. When an art work leaves a park, put it somewhere else in town on permanent display. Iowa City's public art is one of the city's wonderful features. I appreciate how it reflects our culture and place, and the full range on the continuum from earnest and socially engaged to playful and buoyant. More performance art like dance and theatre The same areas of Iowa City, i.e. Ped Mall, etc., especially downtown, are continually being upgraded, at great cost, to be admired by downtown workers (a lot do not live here) and students (who vandalize). There are a lot of Iowa City people who actively refuse to go downtown because of the crime and having to dodge the University student traffic. The rest of Iowa City tends to be a desert for improvement. The "Forgotten West Side" of west of Mormon Trek, has nothing cultural to see or admire. Love the sculptures in the parks Art that serves a purpose and provides accessibility, possibly something for the bus stops, gets the most support from all political sides Find a way to place art in neighborhoods -on parkways or even private property. The bench in Q. 11 could stretch all over the downtown area and could contain all kinds of art. enjoy the scavenger hunts for murals ( I believe one of the schools put together a scavenger hunt of murals downtown) https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 37/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Turn Riverfront Crossings into an amazing sculpture park!

Along the lines of a public art gallery in the Iowa City Public Library. The library is outgrowing it's space and should incorporate this idea into a space study to see where it might work in expanding into the Merge space. It should be main floor, street facing and versitile! more art please! The bus stop wraps were a great aesthetic temporary project but they made it hard to see if a bus was coming and left significant messy residue --at least that seems to be the case at the stop at Jefferson and S. Van Buren. Thank you for the survey and for all the time and effort to give us art. The program should link business owners and patrons of the art with artists and ideas for public art. My business would pay for public art if i had a "menu" of possible muralists and sculptors to work with. thank you for the opportunity for input I love the murals! The more the better. No would be great to have a central place for creating public art, alongside installations. With potentially many participants, this would give more meaning to pieces Rev it up! For those of us artists who cannot afford a booth or display framing at the annual Art Fair, perhaps a more casual day using smaller tables to offer a sampling of our work to the public. Keep up the great work! The amount of public art in this city makes it an exception for cities of similar size in not only Iowa, but the Midwest. It's part of the city's identity of being a refuge for, and celebrating art, artists, and our respect for public spaces. I like architecture to be creative/artistic Bridges are a great place to locate sculptures. Like on the top or ends of the arches on the Park Road Bridge. Perhaps the new Burlington Street Bridges. Permanent or changing. I have not ever seen your neighborhood art association map. Maybe more exposure. thanks for survey Avoid political stands or "statements." NA -thank you for providing public art: benefits artists, educators and students, and helps create aa better community. No Stop using our tax money Some rotating displays should do so rapidly-once a month. Others should be longer lived up to a year. Stop wasting peoples hard earned taxpayer funds on vanity projects such as public art. Art does not and should not need other people's money. Please change the "X marks the arts" campaign. It seems very disconnected from creativity and art and much more like a "FEAR factor" or elon musk's X! logo. Put more money into providing art opportunities for local artists instead of weird marketing to convince people there is art here, especially when there are only a couple low paying opportunities a year. While Des Moines, Dubuque, Quad Cities, CR have more artist opportunities and pay much more appropriately per project. With the funds UI provides to the city it is sad we are so far behind in art then less "progressive" cities. Also the voting (like on the Herky's, notice it was the artists the downtown district already promotes normally that got chosen) is incredibly biased and voting should be more double blind because there's a lot of favoritism in a small university town where money talks and the same person has gotten chosen for 90% of artist opportunities, large and small, for the last 10 years. Keep art alive please No more murals-& remove the ones on Capitol ramp Much of the public art looks messy, muddy, or amateurish. For example, a lot of the Herkys are unimaginative and boring. The painted benches look like they were done as children's club projects. I consider graphic designers and printmakers to be artists, and it was a shame to be walking by one day and see some kids' flyers get ripped down off of lamp posts by Iowa City employees because it wasn't a "permitted" place. If the city requires flyers to be hung on certain places, there should be more of those permitted places. https :// pol co. us/n/ ad min/ content/ a64d22 c4-8 b85-48d 1-856f-f 30c33a 13e56/ re port 38/177 1/9/25, 8:44 AM Palco I Content I drove by the airport mural all the time. I think a sidewalk should have been installed for the people that walk and ride bikes on that busy street BEFORE the art install. We should team up with the Man on a Bench on Scott Blvd and dress it up! No, but I want you to know that I appreciate the contributions to the community. Continue seeking public input and suggestions to inform future decisions. I'd love to understand the mission and goals of the public art program and what entities take part in carrying it out. I also really love all the privately owned art pieces around town. A "tour" of these pieces similar to a garden walk would be a lot of fun and might encourage others to get involved. I find that women are underrepresented in depiction and as artists. This is true for indigenous peoples (there are numerous tribes in Iowa). and other people of colour. Less eye-soring Herky's Art pieces in every neighborhood. Something along Dubuque street near City Park I know of at least two pieces of art in Iowa City that are not included on your map. The first is on the NW corner of the Federal Building at 400 S. Clinton -a sliver colored metal sculpture attached to the exterior of the building. The second is the giant Buddha/Sitting Man sculpture out off Scott Blvd. I'm wondering if there are other older artworks that don't appear on your map or in your database. Do you include things that the city didn't pay for? If you currently don't it would definitely be a great addition to it. You could ask for suggestions for private art to include and make an additional section of your site. Also, do you have printed guides to the public art? Things that could be given away at the Library? Suggestion ... Chicago has something called "Chicago Summer Dance". Once a week. outdoor in a natural location, an international dance lesson is given for 30-45 minutes followed by the music from that specific culture (usually live music) for another hour or 2. The dance lessons aren't that difficult so anyone from any culture, all ages can learn it...most of them you don't even have to have a partner. It was so fun. inclusive, filled with joyful movement. I believe more people would try it with the right teachers. dances and opportunities!!! no If we could do more partnering with local artists of all kinds to do more free classes. Need to create different levels of engagement in public art.. .. more touch and feel. Keep up the good work!! Nope, I love living in a city that values art. Promote kindness and hope. Stop pushing a social agenda of hate and despair. Beautify more backs of buildings downtown, when they face an alley. Install a functional AND attractive receptacle for trash at major bus stops. Thank you for supporting the arts in our city. Thank you also for the creating the opportunity to share feedback. As a resident here, I am excited for the ways Iowa City can continue to nurture relationships with art in our daily lives and public spaces -be that through care and restoration of existing works, as well as the creative instigation of future works by local artists. no We need more art that is literary themed and celebrates our heritage of storytelling. More art! Employment for youth to help build wooden park benches and decorate them. Those of us who are older with bad knees etc., would appreciate it when trying to walk some of the trails. Keep the prairie as a center piece and integrating new, and old expressions of visual and actual performance art is so valuable towards keeping people experiencing public places and connecting they with the community, This sets Iowa City apart from other places. I would love to see more all in all of the neighborhoods. We have many great murals -perhaps more interactive, temp/ pop-up art, and sculpture that is not small scale. N/a Bridges! Focus on the Bridges! No Color really pops during the gray winter months Thank you for making this survey. Hope you get a lot of positive responses. Public art really makes a community. Maybe a youth driven community involved project with hand prints or something else achievable for little ones to take pride in. Connect more with the schools in the community I would like to see the City increase grant funding and lower the barriers for grants. I do not think the Public Art Committee's role should be in commissioning work directly with what little funding the City gives it.

The commission's role should really be manage that grant program and work hard to advocate for pressure the City to increase funding, acquire grants to support larger projects, and champion and help fund other organizations doing the on the ground work like PS1. More than anything though, the committee should be aggressively pitching to the City Council for more funding. We are woefully underfunded and funding from the City is at a historic low. I also think that Parks and Rec/City staff has too loud of a voice and influence on the commission and funding distribution. Storybook Island History. Park with fairy tales.

You are encouraged to share how the project engaged the public; specific outcomes or accomplishments; and how the project advanced the Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee’s goal to expand arts access and opportunity, especially any efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion: “Illuminating Excellence: A Civil Rights Exhibition” is a dynamic educational display showcasing 29 notable Black civil rights leaders and local Iowa City leaders, emphasizing their invaluable contributions to humanity. These projections were visible to a wide and diverse group of Downtown Iowa City viewers, bringing civil rights history front and center for all to see throughout the month of June and coinciding with the City’s Juneteenth Celebration that happens downtown. This was a full circle for diversity, equity, and inclusion. 7. Please share the project’s metrics of success, as identified in the project application: We provided an accessible platform for learning and reflection outside of traditional academic settings, about Black community leaders and civil rights leader. This project was also led by a Black artist and serves as an open invitation for all passersby to engage with historical narratives and celebrate the contributions of these special people to society. Our goal was to highlight individuals that we felt never had been recognized downtown Iowa City and to introduce quotes that were thought provoking. We are extremely happy and look forward to the next opportunity to do the same thing. 8. Please attach any photos you may wish to share from the project. 9.

To the Iowa City Public Arts Advisory Council, Thank you so much for supporting our project, Quicker Than a Ray of Light ... Then Gone, at Public Space One. We were thrilled to be able to share new and profound performance work with the community, in addition to hosting an inspiring workshop and public discussion around the themes and technologies of our work. For the performance night, the artists collectively strategized a site-specific approach to performing within the space of PS1 , building up three interlocking performance zones in the front two adjoining rooms. The night began with Camille Casemier (aka Webcam), who created a new "expanded cinema" work using a collection of th rifted objects from Iowa City second hand shops. She devised a play with these objects as characters, sequencing them in specific relationships and using live cameras to project their interplay on a large screen above her. The story came together as a kind of puzzle open to interpretation, probing at cycles of political domination, the weight of history, and the dizzying force of pop-culture. Then, Bun Stout (aka Odette) performed a beautiful and vulnerable new piece reflecting on how their teenage memories of gendered performance as a classical ballerina are in meaningful conversation with their recent gender-affirming physical transformations. They combined classical ballet choreography from Swan Lake with gestures and poses from body-building, and they recited a poem about these tensions and new potentials while mediating their own image through an AR filter they designed to obscure their mouth with an animated flower as they spoke. After this, Claire Fleming bridged two projections on opposite sides of the space, screen-sharing from their laptop as they navigated a complex web of You Tube videos of revolutionary thinkers and radical protest music from various historical and contemporary movements, Wikipedia articles about mythical stories and global conflict zones, internet memes describing personal and collective struggles for justice and well-being, and text documents they typed into to provide live narration tying these parts all together. Celeste (Ale Campos) then performed a new work "onto a skin, highly reflective" as a duet with Bun Stout, both of them dressed in chroma-key green suits, lace corsets, and long black wigs. With one of them wearing a GoPro camera on their body, an embodied view from inside the performance was projected on a large screen in the space as it happened, with a slight delay. The duet proceeded as a kind of confrontation with one's own reflection, enamored but demanding, and at times outright dejecting. A voiceover soundtrack with hauntingly modified cello provided stream-of-consciousness guidance through questions about how we experience our identities through the ways others reflect us back to ourselves, for better or worse. I concluded the night with my own performance as Fetter, my musical stage moniker. Accompanying my experimental songs about the nature of being, of dreams versus reality, and the unattainability of a final and singular self, was a projection of a live camera feed augmenting my own image with AR filters that distorted and layered my face on top of itself. Overall, a compelling relationship emerged between the works, as each dealt with how identity occurs as a kind of stitching-together and personal negotiation of pieces from a complex, entangled, exponentially accumulating material and ephemeral sociocultural environment. It was wonderful to unpack these themes together in the public discussion the following day. We recorded this conversation and will be submitting excerpts from it as part of a printed booklet to be archived with the LGBTQ Iowa Archives & Library. The booklet will include still images from the performances as well. PS1 is assisting us in producing this. Additionally, the AR workshop, led by Bun Stout, was a unique experiment combining somatic experiencing with augmented reality design. Stout led participants through a kind of guided meditation on embodiment and then each particiipant created a drawing inspired by this experience. The drawings were then all put together into a body-tracking AR filter that placed each image onto parts of the body-a kind of symbolic armor or exquisite corpse. This collective experiment was yet another way of engaging the community in exploring the themes of this program. The whole weekend went quite according to plan. Some minor adjustments in the overall budget were necessary, as I had not originally accounted for lodging the out-of-town artists, and we did not need to purchase as many expendable materials as we originally anticipated. The final budget outline is attached, accounting for these differences with reallocated in-kind support from the Grant Wood Colony, who provided lodging, and additional in-kind labor from myself to cover miscellaneous production duties. The final budget total was $3875.00, and $2150.00 of this total was covered by other sources, including the Grant Wood Art Colony, the University of Iowa, PS1 , and myself. The total experience was really inspiring to be a part of, as this kind of program is unusual, even in larger metropolitan cities. It felt special, and we had a great response from audience members who expressed appreciation for such a unique and thoughtful program. PS1 staff were also pleased with the outcome, and we were very thankful for the chance to work with them. Thank you so much again for this support. Without the grant, we would not have been able to see this project all the way through, and it was wonderful for the community to have the opportunity to engage with these artists and their beautiful, meaningful work. I hope you can enjoy the images attached.

Project Title: Refocus Film Festival Video Art Installation 2. Applicant Name/Organization: FilmScene 3. Project Partners (if any): Ian Bennett 4. Project Completion Date: October 20, 2024 5. Project Location(s): 4th Floor of The Chauncey (404 E College) 6. Please provide a brief narrative description of the completed project. You are encouraged to share how the project engaged the public; specific outcomes or accomplishments; and how the project advanced the Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee’s goal to expand arts access and opportunity, especially any efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion: With the support of the City of Iowa City’s Public Art Matching Grant Program, we were able to realize our goal to have a free, adaptation-centered public art installation during our annual Refocus Film Festival. Working from our original concept of a video art piece which could be continuously adapted year after year, local artist and filmmaker Ian Bennett created “We Always Come Here,” a poetic meditation on the half-century history of the Ped Mall. This piece will now serve as the seed for future video art installations. In his work, Bennett reassembled archival film and video, found footage and photos, interviews through the ages, and contemporary reflections to create a 50-minute video. Free and open to the public, “We Always Come Here” was presented in a pop-up cinema located on the fourth floor of The Chauncey. The video loop ran continuously from 2-7pm on October 18, and 12-7pm on October 19 and 20. We estimated 170 patrons visited the installation during the course of the festival. The Ped Mall is arguably the jewel of Iowa City: it is where all our community gathers, whether it’s visiting the Iowa City Public Library, grabbing a pastry or some wine at Bread Garden, running around the playground, meeting with friends on a summer day, or coming to a summertime festival. This is a unique space to Iowa City, and it’s full of history and feelings and memories for so many of our residents and visitors. There was much excitement about “We Always Come Here” when the Refocus Film Festival program was announced in early fall. The festival weekend itself was jam-packed (in part due to its intentional overlap with the Iowa City Book Festival), and we heard from many patrons that they were unable to fit it into their schedule. Our plan is to hold another public screening at FilmScene - free of charge - in early 2025 to ensure more of our community members can enjoy this incredible and deeply personal piece of art. 7. Please share the project’s metrics of success, as identified in the project application: There were many conversations throughout the festival weekend about the video installation - many were moved by the memories captured in the video as well as the changes in the physical space (the old foundation, long closed businesses). And there were challenging conversations as well about the heavy drinking and violence that was captured in another segment of the video. All in all, it seemed to capture so much of the joy as well as the challenges of The Ped Mall and being in a community of students and year round residents. With the craziness of the festival, we were unable to track guest feedback as originally hoped. For the public screening to be held at FilmScene in the coming months, we will include a guest book to gather reflections on the impact of the installation. 8.

Between 30 and 40 people were present plus those dining on the patio and walking by in the northside neighborhood.Of those 30-40 people,14 filled out a post-show survey from which we collected data. We engaged a range of ages from school-aged kids to older adults and audience members were familiar with dance but most were not trained dancers. We received overwhelmingly positive feedback from audience members who enjoyed the “high quality of dancing,”“great venue,”“fun music”and community participation.One person commented:“I loved the fun and interactive environment you created.It was awesome to come together as a community,be encouraged to be creative and the group dance was really fun.It’s also always a pleasure to watch fun dance from people who enjoy it.”Comments recognized that it was rewarding to see people of all ages come together and that the participation encouraged them to be creative. We also believed that the project would be successful if it inspired feelings of curiosity,a sense of belonging and community.We asked participants to use 3-5 adjectives to describe how they felt during and/or after the event.The image below is a visual representation of the words used to describe participants’experience.The adjectives that were most often mentioned were “happy”,“playful”and “excited”or “energized.”Participants also said they felt “relaxed”with feelings of beauty,love,and belonging.One audience member commented:“I LOVED the performance and am so happy this company exists in Iowa City!Thank you for bringing dance and joy to the community!”Another wrote:“I had a really heavy and hard week with work and the combination of music,dance, engagement with others helped my soul-thank you ladies!” Overall we heard from audience members that they would attend another similar event or engage with more dance in Iowa City after attending the event. 8.Please attach any photos you may wish to share from the project.

Project Completion Date: 10/9/2024 5. Project Location(s): PS1 Close House, 538 S. Gilbert St. Iowa City, IA 52240 6. Please provide a brief narrative description of the completed project. You are encouraged to share how the project engaged the public; specific outcomes or accomplishments; and how the project advanced the Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee's goal to expand arts access and opportunity, especially any efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion: This too .... is a public artwork designed and created by PSl artists-in-residence Unche Studio (Rambod Vala, Ramyar Vala, and Afrooz Partovi) in early October 2024 on the north lawn of PS1 1s Close House location. After several months of virtual collaboration with PS1 staff to develop the concept and approach, Unche Studio traveled to Iowa City to complete fabrication of and install the artwork, which references/functions both as a clock and a table, and integrate the words "This Too Shall Pass" in both Farsi and English. The form of This Too ... aims to simulate spacetime diagrams and is made of 720 individual pieces of wood painted in bright colors, with metal inlaid text and clock arms (see attached photos!). On October 9, we unveiled the artwork with a public event which including the reading of a poem by Unche Studio developed alongside the work. 7. Please share the project's metrics of sll!ccess, as identified in the project application: This was a really exciting project to initiate PS11s expanded field residency program. Being able to bring these artists to Iowa City and support them in completing this artwork (an intensive process!) feels like a success in itself, but here are some other markers: In addition to PS1 staff, 3 other artists/community members got the opportunity to engage with Unche Studio during the fabrication and installation process, getting insight on how they work. About 20 community members attended the unveiling of This Too ... and got the chance to hear from Unche Studio and then engage in conversation with the artists and each other around the themes of the artwork. Those in attendance included artists, writers, students, and other community members. Dozens more visitors have checked out This Too ... while passing through our yard (which is a common thoroughfare for neighborhood residents) and visiting PS1 Close House for other reasons. In the upcoming 12 months, we will invite further engagement with the work through our newsletter, social media, onsite signage, and future activations of the piece (a reading is in the works and the artists are excited for other local groups/individuals to use it as a functional object/gathering site). Through our website, visitors will be able to submit written responses to the work, and PS1 and the artists will archive all activity around the piece (possibly online or through a printed publication). This final work, through the currently-installed life of the piece, will be another metric of success of the project and we'd be happy to report back on this next year if desired. 8.

Iowa City Public Art Matching Grant Program Grant Award Report Form 1. Project Title: The Writing Garden 2. Applicant Name/Organization: PorchLight Literary Arts Center 3. Project Partners (if any): 4. Project Completion Date: September 21, 2024 5. Project Location(s): 1019 E. Washington St, Iowa City, IA 52240 6. Please provide a brief narrative description of the completed project. You are encouraged to share how the project engaged the public; specific outcomes or accomplishments; and how the project advanced the Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee’s goal to expand arts access and opportunity, especially any efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion: PorchLight’s Writing Garden project consisted of six successful writing and planting sessions, and a Garden Party at which participants from all sessions were invited to share any work they created over the summer that was sparked from the specific garden prompts or the general experiences they had at PorchLight. We engaged the public by hanging flyers not just in downtown but on the North Side and South Side of the city. We announced session dates in Little Village, with The Downtown District, Think Iowa City, The Writing University, Unesco City of Literature, and at the IC Farmer’s Market. Approximately 12 people showed up to participate in each writing session, and 28 people attended our final celebration and reading. Our efforts to expand arts access an opportunity included making sure we placed flyers on Iowa City’s South Side, choosing workshop leaders who came with their own diverse followings from a variety of demographics in Iowa City, and by making sure our workshop leaders created welcoming and inclusive environments that encouraged all attendees to participate not matter what their level of experience. 7. Please share the project’s metrics of success, as identified in the project application: “Our goal is to have at least twelve people per planting and writing session, and to host a crowd of at least forty on the lawn at PorchLight for the celebratory reading and Writing Garden unveiling. A successful project will also engage a wide variety of people across Iowa City and in the region, and bring new faces to PorchLight. We will track demographics through a post event email survey. In addition, we will measure success by how participants rate their feeling of being welcomed and engaged by the event. We will attempt to measure this in the same brief email survey sent to record demographics. Finally, another marker of success will be having people continue to use the writing garden during our open hours on Saturdays.” We are happy to report we averaged twelve participants per writing garden session. Our final celebration fell a little short, at 28 participants rather than forty, but we still feel this was a strong turn-out. People reported feeling welcome, and inspired both in the email surveys and in person. Five people read from their work and eight people sent us pieces to be included in the Writing Garden Zine. In terms of diversity the program engaged 10 participants who did not report as white. We are also happy to say that the program brought fifteen people to PorchLight who had not participated in PorchLight events before. Overall, we think the event was a success and will continue the program next year with new session leaders, and new prompts. 8. Please attach any photos you may wish to share from the project.
