BACKGROUND
Citv 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 rniles north of West Palm Beach, FL (Exhibit 1).
The City was founded in 1959 and therefore is currently celebrating 50 years as a City.
Lake Catherine Park
Lake Catherine Park (Exhibit 2) is located on MacArkhur Roulevard east of Lake Catherine
(named after the wife of John D. MacArthur). The park is directly across from the Howell
Watkins Middle School. This passive park is approximately five (5) acres and contains a large
expanse of green grass and various flowering trees. The park's amenities include a'/2 mile
walking trail, boat launch and on-street parking. The park has t�e.en home to the Palm Beach
Gardens Women's Club Hanor Park since 2000. Annual Arbor Day celebrations are conducted
in January, which incl�de free plantings. The park is also a major site for the popular Plant-A-
Tree Program. These programs haUe enabled this site to possess the widest variety of flowering
trees.
Art in Public Places Ordinance ;�_: ����� �
The City has had in place an,A�t in Pubiic Places Ordinance since 1988. This Ordinance
requires that all non-residential developments av�r $1-million in total development cost provide
a percentage of the development cos� 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 pubfic'spaces in and around the City.
Art in Public Places Board and Parks and Recreation Advisorv 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, an� install outdoor historical art piece(s), or aesthetic
enhancement(s) to be placed as an entrance/signa�e to Lake Catherine Park on the southeast
corner of the park (Exhibit 3) along MacArthur Baulevard as well as adjacent to the lake at the
sauthern portionp located at 9470 IVIacArthur Boulevard, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida (Exhibit
4)e
4 PROPOSAL#2009-xxx
Lake Catherine History Art Call To Artists
Drafted 11/25/09
The selected artist will design a 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
adjacent to the lake. The exterior art and amenities project should be conceptually unique and
shall serve to memorialize important events in history of the City of Palm Beach Gardens. The
successfui 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
excellence, and be of high quality. In addition, i# should also include a public outreach or
education component. The project location is a passive park across from a middle school, the
ideal concept would allow those to use the h�ark` as well as draw visitors to the park to learn
about the history of the City. Exhibit 6 lists w�b..,links to audio files of actual meetings and
discussions.
PROJECT DESIGN CONCEPT
Artistic and Graphic Display of the City's History
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 walk" display. The art shall be
distinctive and provide ar� atte��iv� draw into the park and the history walk when viewed from
the street. It will ser�r� �s the °callin� card" for the history walk.
The art shall not impede fihe existir
The art should attempt to defi�ne a�;
and displays will occur. Any ar# ��
the path to give a sense of protecti
covering" over the history walk are
�e of the gravel walking path to a height of 12 feet tall.
:ontaf and verticai space under which the history walk
the'wa{l�ir� path may define an "implied covering" over
nd enclosu�e but should not provide a physical "roof
the path.
The "entry feature art" should be designeci;.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 walk without there being
a physical connection between the two areas. The entry feature art should draw one from the
entrance out near the street to the history walk 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 feature art that says "Lake Catherine
Park — City of Palm Beach Gardens."
The history walk, consisting of graphic elements 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 dispiays out away from the path in a way that provides
side paths to view the City's history. �Ceep in mind that any "side paths" will need to be wide
enough to accammodate a classroom of school children who might visit the park and history
walk to learn about the City's history.
5 PROPOSAL#2009-xxx
Lake Catherine History Art Call To Artists
Drafted 11/25/09
One mandatory requirement of the history walk will be to commemorate John D. and Catherine
T. MacArthur whereas to describe their role in founding the city. This commemoration should
be the starting point along the history walk because the City did not exist before founding by
MacArthur.
The history walk art shall be passive and respectful of the Lake Catherine neighborhood that
surrounds the park.
BUDGET
The total not-to-exceed budget for the commission is $195,000.00 ($45,000 from the MacArthur
Foundation and $150,000 from the City's art impact fund). The budget includes artist fees,

Re: History Vilalk at the Woman's Club Honor Park
Palni Beach Gardeiis
Historical Socieiy
6231 PGA Alvd. , Suitc 104181
Palm I3each Gardens, Plorida, 3341.8
First of all let me thank you for your efforts in bringing the �iistory of our
eity into the open, publicly displaying it in an artf'ul manner and m.aking
it available to all current and f.uture residents af the city. We pledge our
full support ta your effo�-ts.
In reflecting on the discussions at your joint meeting, it becaxne apparent
to me that there is perhaps a bette�� way to combine history with art
forms. By setting up the individual viewing areas that would be
ernbellished in some way by an art farm and dividing these into blocks of
time would not be as meaningful as establishing themes for each of these
areas. In that way the artist/s would have different themes to
incozporate in their work, as opposed to trying to capture time o� one of
the events that occurred during the periad.
May I suggest �he following? Each of these items in the categories would
be placed in ehronological arder, deizning the locations where they
occurred and the people tha.t were responsible.
• The Birth af Our City
• Feople th.at shaped the City (Elected Ofiicials - Developer�, etc.)
• Religions of Our City
• Sch.00ls ,of Our City (private - public)
• H�using Developments of Our City (plats - gated communi�ies)
• Cozr�znercial Developmeni:s of the City (shopping centers -- ma11s)
• Athletic Programs in the Cii.y {Khory lea.gue - PBGYAA)
• Special evenfis tliat occurred in the City (Hetzel Pa�eant, World
Cup, Ryder Cup, Citizens tournament, the one day house, etc.)
'I'lie mission of tkie Paitn Beaclx Gardens Hisiorical Society is to collect,
��reserve atid share tl�e nich k�istary of the City of P�lm Beach Gardens Floriaa,
for the edueation a��d enjoytnent o£ cutrent and fiituce �eneratiotis.
Gity Awards
Valunteer 4rganizations of the City (Firemen - Woma�'s club)
Notable people and athlet�s of the city
These are a few suggested topics that could be considered. They likewise
could be grouped as indicated with several coznplimentary �hemes joining
them together at the sam� station.
By developing the stations along the v�ralk in this manner, specific items
could be added, wher� appropriate, in the future, as oppased to building
enta.rely new stations.
The bo�tor� line is that visitors that view fihe history of the city while
experiencing the walk would have a continuous stoiy of one of the
thernes idea and not have to carry thoughts from. one site to the next.
This is the same concept which is used i� publishing rnal;hematics books
... 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,
depar�rnent 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 Develapments 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.

I gave some more thought to the inforrnatiou the Lake Catherine art project will need from the Historical Group
to malce it viable information for a visual and explanatory art project.
I thinl<. the information needs to be brolcen dowzl iz7to two categories: Dates and Quantities. The city has had
"historically si�nificallt clianges" over time and "quantitative changes" over time. I thinlc we should have both
iion7 the Historical Group to give an artist all the necessary data to come up with an interestin� and informative
history wall<.
I will el�borate 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 ti�ucics
Residents
Acreage or Sq. Miles
c��y vl�ab�t
City staff size
Other categories that can be easily quantified over the 5 decades of the city's life
This informaiion might be usefiil for an artist to graphically show years and people count to provide an
immedi�te Ltnderstanding of the city's growth.
So, something like:
POLIC� CARS:
1960: 1 police car.
1970: 25 police cai�s
1980: 35 police cars
1990: 45 police cars
2000: CO police cars
1'OPULATION:
1960: 1,500 residents
1970: 4,000 residents
1980: 10,000 residents
1990: 25,000 residents
2000; 35,000 reside�lt�
2010: 48,000 residents
CITY� B�JDG�T:
1960: $500,000 city budget
1970: $2 illillion city budget
Cl"1'Y AREA:
1960: 25 Sq. Miles
etc.
1 tlzink you get the pictul•e. My thought is that the quantitative information can be loolced at lilce a mother's
charnl bracelet. As each zlew child is added to a mother's family, another chari�l is added to the bracelet. This
quantitative information might help provide an artist with son�ething to grasp 10 show the city's growth over
time. It will allow fiiture generations to then add to those graphic elements as the city continues Lo grow but at a
slower pace.
Other points of histoi•ical significance might be:
1. Years whe11 ihe city hall location and struciur� changed. Photos of those various city hall b�lildings. 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 bowidaries when it was first established (1959) and then again in 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000,
and what its boundaries will look like in 2010.
