BACKGROUND
City of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida
The City of Palm Beach Gardens is residence to over 49,000 people and is located on the
southeast coast of Florida; approximately 10 miles north of West Palm Beach, FL (Exhibit 1).
The City was founded in 1959 and therefore is currently celebrating 50 years as a City.
Art in Public Places Ordinance
The City has had in place an Art in Public Places Ordinance since 1988. This Ordinance
requires that all non-residential developments over $1-million in total development cost provide
a percentage of the development cost to public art, or contribute to the City's art fund. From the
art fund, the Art in Public Places Board is authorized to make recommendation to the City
Council to purchase works of art for public spaces in and around the City.
Art in Public Places Board and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
Both the Art in Public Places Advisory Board (AIPP) and Parks and Recreation Advisory Board
(RAB) are comprised of City residents from a variety of professions, all with a strong interest
and commitment to serving in the best interest for the public, both in art and in parks.
PROJECT SCOPE
In order to commemorate the 50 years of history, the City of Palm Beach Gardens is in search
of an artist to design, fabricate, and install outdoor historical art piece(s), or aesthetic
enhancernent(s) to be placed as an entrance/signage to Lake Catherine Park (Exhibit 2) on the
southeast corner of the park (Exhibit 3) along MacArthur Boulevard as well as adjacent to the
lake at the southern portion, located at 9470 MacArthur Boulevard, Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida (Exhibit 4).
The selected artist will design work of art which can be viewed from several different vantage
points. The entryway/signage shall be eye-catching and connect to the historical art element

successful Artist will have demonstrated through the submission of proposal materials, the
capability to successfully complete the project with an innovative approach to the exterior space
as well as incorporating the history of the City of Palm Beach Gardens.
Exhibit 5 includes ideas and concepts from the Art in Public Places Board and Palm Beach
Gardens Historical Society for categories of history, however, it would be advantageous for the
artist(s) to research the history and include their graphic interpretation within the art piece(s).
The art piece(s) should be developed as a place-specific installation which responds to the
characteristics of the designated space within the park, including, but not limited to, the history,
physical environment and diversity of the people within the community. The project should have
a clear benefit to and involvement of the community. The project should support artistic

Re: History Walk at the Woman's Club Honor Park
Palm Beach Gardens
Historical Socieiy
6231 i'GA Blvd. � Suite 104181
Palm lieach Gardens, Flozida, 33418
First of all let me thank you for your efforts in bringing the history of our
city into the open, publicly displaying it in an artful manner and m.aking
it available to all curren.t and f.uture residents of the city. We pledge our
full support ta your efforts.
In reflecting on the discussions at you.r jointi meeting, it became apparent
to me that there is perhaps a better way to combine history with art
forms. By setting up the individual viewing areas that would be
ernbellished in some way by an art form and dividing these into blocks of
time would not be as meaningfixl as establishing themes for each of these
areas. In that way the artist/s would have different themes to
incorpo�rate in their work, as opposed to tiying to capture time o� one of
the events that occurred during the period.
May I suggest �he following? Each af these items in the categories would
be placed in chronological order, de�ning the locations where they
occurred axzd the people that �vvere responsible.
• The Birth of (4ur City
• People that shaped the City (Elected Ofiicials - Developers, etc.)
• Religions of Our City
• Schools of Our City (private - public)
• Housing Developments of Our City (plats - gated communities)
• Coznmercial Developments of the City (shopping centers -- znalls)
• Athletic Programs in the City (Khory league - PBGYAA)
• Special events tliat accurred in the City (Hetzel Pageant, World
Cup, Ryder Cup, Citizens tournament, the one day house, etc.)
The mission af tk�e Palm Beach Gardens Historical Society is to collect,
preserve and share the rich history of the City of Palrn Beach Gardens Florida,
for the education and enjoyment of cuxrent and fiiture geaetations.
• Gity Awards
. Volunteer Organizations of the City (Firemen -- Woman's club)
• Notable people and athletes of the city
These are a few suggested topics that could be considered. They like�wise
could be grouped as indicated with several coznplimentary �hemes joining
them together at the sam� station.
By developing the stations along the walk in this manner, specific items
could be added, vvhen appropriate, in the future, as opposed to building
enta.rely new stations.
The bo�tom line is that visitors that view the history of the city ivhile
experiencing the walk would ha�e a coniinuous story af one of the
thernes idea and not have to carry thoughts from o�e site to the next.
This is the same concept which is used in publishin.g mathematies baoks
... each chapter completes a particular concept.
May I suggest the following? Each of these items in the categories would
be placed in chronological order, defining the locations where they
occurred and the people that were responsible.
• The Birth of Our City
• People that shaped the City (Elected Ofiicials, managers,
department head, etc.)
• Industries and elements (PGA, Hospital, etc.) that shaped our city.
• Religions of Our City
• Schools of Our City (private - public)
• Parks and recreation
• Housing Developments of Our City (plats - gated communities)
• Commercial Developments of the City (shopping centers - malls)
• Transportation elements. (Airport, I-95, etc.)
• Athletic Programs in the City (Khory league - PBGYAA)
• Special events that occurred in the City (Hetzel Pageant, World
Cup, Ryder Cup, Citizens tournament, the one day house, TV
programs, etc.)
• City Awards
• Volunteer Organizations of the City (Firemen - Woman's club)
• Service organizations.
• Notable residents and athletes of the city.

Subject: History information suggestions for Lake Catherine project
I gave some more thought to the information the Lake Catherine art project will need from the Historical Group
to inalce it viable information for a visual and explanatory art project.
I thinlc the information needs to be broken down into two categories: Dates and Quantities. The city has had
"historically significant changes" over time and "quantitative changes" over time. I thinlc we should have both
fioin the Historical Group to give an artist all the necessary data to come up with an interesting and inforinative
history wallc.
I will elaborate below.
To show how the city has grown and may continue to grow, I thinlc it would provide visual significance to have
year dates and quantities for various tangible items:
These categories might be:
Police cars
Fire trucics
Residents
Acreage or Sq. Miles
City budget
City staff size
Other categories that can be easily quantified over the 5 decades of the city's life
This inforination might be useful for an artist to graphically show years and people count to provide an
iminediate understanding of the city's growth.
So, something like:
POLICE CARS:
1960: 1 police car.
1970: 25 police cars
1980: 35 police cars
1990: 45 police cars
2000: 60 police cars
POPULATION:
1960: 1,500 residents
1970: 4,000 residents
1980: 10,000 residents
1990: 25,000 residents
2000: 35,000 residents
2010; 48,000 residents
CITY� ��JDG�T:
1960: $500,000 city budget
1970: $2 inillion city budget
CITY AREA:
1960: 25 Sq. Miles
etc.
I thii�lc you get the picture. My thought is that the quantitative information can be loolced at like a mother's
charm bracelet. As each new child is added to a mother's family, another charm is added to the bracelet. This
quantitative information might help provide an artist with something to grasp to show the city's growth over
time. It will allow future generations to then add to those graphic elements as the city continues to grow but at a
slower pace.
Other points of historical significance might be:
1. Years when the city hall location and structure changed. Photos of those various city hall buildings. An
artist then may malce pre-cast models of each of those structures to visually show how the city went from using
a portable trailer to the building that is currently city hall.
2. Maps of the city boundaries when it was first established (1959) and then again in 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000,
and what its boundaries will look like in 2010.

PROJECT DESIGN CONCEPT:
Artistic and Graphic Display of the Citv's Historv
The art doesn't have to have a relationship to the historical events to be depicted and displayed. The art can
be used as an indentifying feature to draw attention to where something is happening along the existing
path that will become the "history wallc" display. The art shall be distinctive and provide an attentive draw
into the park and the history walk when viewed from the street. It will serve as the "calling card" for the
history walk.
The art shall not impede the existing use of the gravel walking path to a height of 12 feet tall. The art
sllould attempt to define a horizontal and vertical space under which the history walk and displays will
occur. Any art above the walking path may define an "implied covering" over the path to give a sense of
protection and enclosure but should not provide a physical "roof covering" over the history walk area of the
path.
The "entry feature art" should be designed in context with the art to be installed along the history walk so
that it provides an implied link from the entrance to the history wall< without tllere being a physical
comlection between tl�e two areas. The enhy feature art should draw one from the entrauce out near the
sh-eet to the history wallc area by the subconscious connection between the two art areas and without the
need for directional signage saying so.
Provide for artistic yet noticeable signage on the entry feat�ire art that says "Lake Catherine Parl<— City of
Pahn Beach Gardens."
The history walk, consisting of graphic eleinents depicting the city's history, shall be placed along the sides
of the existing gravel path so that full use of the path width is unimpeded. It will be acceptable to meander
the historical displays out away from the path in a way that provides side paths to view the city's histoiy.
Keep in mind that any "side paths" will need to be wide enough to accominodate a classroom of school
children who might visit the park and history wall< to learn about the city's history.
One mandatoiy requirement of the history walk will be to fabricate busts or bas-relief plaques of John D.
and Catherine T. MacArthur and to describe their role ui founding the city. These should be the starting
point along the history walk because the city did not exist before founding by MacArthur.
The l�istoiy walk ai�t shall be passive and respectful of the Lake Catherine neighborhood that surrounds the
park.
