BACKGROUND
On December 16, 2004, the City Council adopted Ordinance 43, 2004 and Resolution
217, 2004 providing for a rezoning and master plan approval for the Gardens Station
Mixed -Use Planned Unit Development (MXD/PUD). Gardens Station consists of two (2)
buildings containing a total of 15,075 square feet of general commercial use, 17,550
square feet of medical office use, 47,200 square feet of professional office use, and 2,500
square feet of financial use.
DISCUSSION
The art consultant for the owner of the property, Lucy Keshavarz, met with the Art in
Public Places Advisory Board for an artist's portfolio review and "theme" workshop on
April 19, 2005. Two art- concept workshops were later held on January 17, 2006 and July
18, 2006 for further input and discussion from the Board. Two "Flagbenches" carved
from brick placed across from one another are selected to be proposed for the public art
for this project. These benches are approximately eight (8) feet long by four (4) feet high
and are located adjacent to RCA Center Drive.
PROPOSED LOCATIONS FOR ART
The applicant is proposing one (1) location for the public art:
1. The two "Flagbenches" are placed across from one another and oriented between
the Gardens Station East building and the adjacent RCA Center Drive.
The proposed location is consistent with Land Development Regulations Section 78-
261(b)(5) as follows:
• Visibility: The proposed public art location is visible to both internal and external
pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
• Planning Integration: Again, the proposed public art locations are highly visible
and serve as integral components of the proposed development.
• Landscape Integration: The landscaping has been designed to complement the
proposed art location and will serve to "frame" the proposed "Flagbenches"
against the Gardens Station East building.
• Lighting: All proposed public art will be tastefully lit in an unobtrusive manner
through the use of up- lights.

Petition AIPP- 06 -01- 000012
ART IN PUBLIC PLACES ADVISORY BOARD
As a result of the two art- concept workshops, the Art in Public Places Advisory Board
raised the following concern regarding the public art selection. Some Board members
were concerned that US Veterans may be offended by someone leaning or sitting on a
representation of the United States Flag. The applicant stated that the developer's father is
a Veteran and saw no problem with the design. Furthermore, he actually felt that in the
eyes of Veterans one does lean on the Flag as a symbol of strength and freedom.
On October 17, 2006, the Art in Public Places Advisory Board was presented with the
"Flagbench" for final recommendation to City Council. Lucy Keshavarz, on behalf of the
Applicant, brought a maquette and additional samples of the artist's work for the Board to
review. The Board stated that the "Flagbench" did not compliment the space and was out
of scale in relation to the surrounding buildings. The Board decided to table the subject
petition and allow Ms. Keshavarz to further discuss the "Flagbench" selection with her
client.
The artist, Charles Sharrod Partin, responded to comments that were raised by the Board
in a letter dated November 6, 2006 (please see attached). Mr. Partin stated that it is
difficult to accurately visualize the size of the art from looking at the small maquette that
was presented to the AIPP Board. Mr. Partin assured the Board that the "Flagbench" will
be of the same high quality as the rest of his works and will compliment the space at the
Gardens Station site. Furthermore, Mr. Partin reiterated that consideration be given to the
needs and wants of private developers as well. Ms. Keshavarz will be returning to the
Board and proceeding with the "Flagbench" as previously submitted and reviewed by the
AIPP Board.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Re: Gardens Station
Final Submittal
Dear AIPP Advisory Board Members:
On behalf of John C. Bills Properties, it is my pleasure to submit the enclosed
information for your review and request a positive final recommendation to the City
Council of Palm Beach Gardens for the proposed public art.

Project review & update:
art & cultural G
Gardens Station comprises two buildings; east and west. These buildings are
located directly across from each other on the east and west sides of RCA Center
programming D
Drive one block north of RCA Blvd. The combined art budget for Gardens Station is
a total of 51,426.00
design and A
An artist portfolio review and public art "theme" workshop was conducted
consulting w
with the AIPP Advisory Board on April 19, 2005. After reviewing the work and
resume of sculptor /architect Charles S. Partin the Board was positive in their
discussion and agreed he was a good choice. Mr. Partin carves brick to create a variety
of stand alone sculptures as well as high and low relief work. It seemed the Board was
both intrigued and excited by the medium and work of this artist. Also discussed with
the Board was the developer's directive to commission work with a patriotic theme
and in a realistic style.
Two art concept workshops were held with the AIPP Advisory Board on
January 17, 2006 and July 18, 2006 for input. During both of these workshops,
benches made of carved brick were shown. During the July 18, 2006 workshop the
sketch of what has become "Old Glory" was shown to the Advisory Board.
During the July 18, 2006 workshop there was concern by the Advisory Board
members that some people, in particular US Veterans may take offense to a person
appearing to lean on a representation of the US Flag. From a design standpoint the
artist had agreed to keep the carving of the flag only on the back of the bench; leaving
the inside smooth and to elevate the flag portion so it would not appear to touch the
ground. The Advisory Board asked the developer to ask Veterans what they thought.
The developer's father is a Veteran and said he saw no problem with this design.
Actually he felt that in the eyes of Veterans one does lean on the Flag as a symbol of
strength and freedom. As requested by the Chairperson of the Art Advisory Board,
66 St. James Drive t
this information was conveyed to City Staff so it could be communicated to the
Palm Beach Gardens m
members of the Advisory Board. We did not hear anything back and continued to

F)
Other questions and concerns of the Advisory Board were addressed by the
artist and design team. Those of us working on the project including the developer felt
that Mr. Partin did a wonderful job addressing the concerns of the advisory board
while at the same time keeping the directive of the developer. Mr. Partin's maquette
of "Old Glory" has the United States Flag carved on the back of the bench while at the
same time giving the bench a very elegant shape and design from every angle. He has
captured the fluid movement of a flag as it would float, curl and dance in the wind.
The final submittal went before the Art Advisory Board on October 17, 2006.
The decision was tabled and the Art Advisory Board suggested the proposed benches
be abandoned and perhaps a wall with the relief of a flag could be created by the artist.
It should be noted that during the two art concept workshops in which benches had
been presented, the Advisory Board did not make such a request.
After discussions with developer, artist and design professionals, it was
decided to go forward with the proposed public art. The recommended approval
process has been followed and input by the Art Advisory Board has been incorporated
in revisions during this process. As a result a high quality, unique and site specific
work of art has been designed that meets the needs of the public, developer and
ordinance. Furthermore, it is felt by the artist, design professionals and the developer
that a wall type structure with a relief design would not compliment the site nor
provide a work for the public as good as the proposed benches.
As has been indicated in previous documents, the proposed benches would be
placed across from one another and perpendicular to and between the Gardens Station
East building and the adjacent RCA Center Drive. Each bench will measure 8 feet
wide by 3.5 feet deep. The height of the seating portion of the bench is 18 inches high
with the height of the back and arm portions varying between 28 inches to 48 inches
off the ground.
The structure will be as previously indicated; include steel reinforced, poured
concrete foundations, a single wyth of concrete backup and brick both on the back and
on the back support of the front side of the bench. Engineering drawings will be
provided to the city prior to the request for a building permit.
Budget:
Below is the estimated budget breakdown at completion of this AIPP project-
Charles S. Partin (cost of benches & design fee) $ 39,000
Arts consulting fee $ 7,714
Art specific landscape/hardscape design & materials $ 5,000
Foundation and structural work $ 3,000
Engineering $ 4,000
Lighting $ 3,000
Total estimated AIPP costs $ 61,714
Timing:
The development orders on this project state that the AIPP must be installed
prior to a CO being issued. The buildings are expected to be ready for CO in January
2007. However, due to several factors, the benches will not be ready in time and we
3
are requesting an extension that would allow the CO to be issued prior to the
completion of the AIPP portion of this project. Mr. Partin must create these benches
at a brick yard and the one he is established with is in the state of Nebraska. Due to
Nebraska climate, the artist is able to carve only in the spring and fall months of each
year. Please see tentive timetable below-
December 2006 approval by AIPP Advisory Board
January 2006 approval by City Council
End of May through July 2007 carving benches (six weeks per bench)
August & September 2007 bricks are dried, fired, packed & shipped
November 30, 2007 installation complete

AIPP ADVISORY BOARD
City of Palm Beach Gardens
10500 North Military Trail
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33410
RE: Proposed Public Art
Gardens Station
Dear AIPP Advisory Board Members:
While I appreciate your civic desire to make sure that your city receives the very best quality artwork possible, l feel that in
our case, you are preventing that which you wish to encourage. To keep this project in limbo is hindering the cause of public
art and is costing many people much time and money.
I know that it's difficult to visualize a large, carved brick sculptural bench from looking at a small scale, schematic maquette,
but I assure you that the resulting piece, with mortar joints accentuating the flowing lines, will be of the same high quality as
my whole body of work. I've spent many hours of work on this project and have created what most that have seen it
recognize as an exciting piece of functional art. Attached is a piece at the University of Florida which has similar waves.
Envision that on our bench and I am sure you'll see the exciting visual impact it will have.
When an artist is selected to create a specific work of art one looks at his previous work, his qualifications and at the
recommendations of those who have worked with him. By doing so, you help protect the community from any bad surprises.
You have done that with my work and have seen enough of my sculptures to know that you can feel comfortable that I will
produce a piece of which you will be pleased and proud.
I would ask that you approve "Old Glory." This work may not be what you personally want to see, but an objective view
point is needed in public art. Due to Palm Beach Gardens' exceptional ordinance which requires public art of private
developers, it would seem consideration should also be given to the needs and desires of the developer. The developer has
come a long way through this process. We are very proud of "Old Glory"; we feel the public will be very happy with it and
that it is very appropriate for the site.
Sincerely,
Charles Sharrod Partin

E
Selection Committee. Please advise Nina Nikolova, 799 -4218, or me, 804 -7010, if you are
not able to attend either of these meetings. Thank you.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SCORING FLYOVER SUBMISSIONS
Each submission has been listed by a number (randomly chosen) and the applicant's last name.
Points for residents of Florida have been allocated on your sheets. The submission type (CD
and /or slides) has also been noted. Several artists made copies of their CD for each member
which you will be able to take with you. Original materials are with the City Clerks' office for
recordkeeping purposes.
Please call the City Clerk at (561) 799 -4122 to arrange a time and day to view the slides and /or
cd's at City Hall if you do not have the means to review them yourself. This must be done prior
to December 19tH
SCORING OF CRITERIA
1. 55 points Aesthetic quality and innovation
2. 45 points Experience and competence in similar scaled commissions
3. 15 Bonus points aesthetic quality of Preliminary Concept Drawings
4. 5 Bonus points Florida resident
Explanation
Primary Po!nts
·The point system is heavily weighted on the portfolio of slides/digital images and experience
sections:
55 points -Aesthetic quality and innovation
45 points -Experience and competence in similar seated commissions
It was not intended that artists who did not provide preliminary drawings should be penalized
nor should we be unduly influenced by interesting sketches by artists whose body of work does
not demonstrate the experience for this kind of project.
Bonus Points
Preliminary Concept Drawings
From the RFP (see below), the bonus points for the Preliminary Concept Drawings should be
awarded only for those submissions which you think are exceptional. It was not intended that
an artisf should be rewarded just because he/she submitted a Preliminary Concept Drawing.
15 Bonus points-aesthetic quality of Preliminary Concept Drawings
Preliminary Concept Drawings: It is at the Artist's discretion to submit no more than
five drawings to illustrate a preliminary proposal and design concepts. Bonus points
shall be awarded for submitted drawings that demonstrate exceptional aesthetic
quality.
Please evaluate the preliminary concept drawings only as sketches no matter how
complete or sophisticated they may appear. It is very important to see the preliminary
concept drawings as departure points of the artists. These sketches should just give an insight
into the artists' reactions to the architectural drawings and not be viewed as a fully thought out
design.
It is important to recognize that many artists who work in the public sector need a dialogue with
the commissioning committee who represents the community and to make a site visit before
coming up with a concept. Ideally, the artists' written descriptions should give you insight into
their thought process and personal style of art making.
Written Proposal: No more than two pages outlining the relationship between the slides
presented and Artist's proposal; how the proposed work meets the project's goals and
guidelines; and background information that support the Artist's qualification to complete
the project together with all drawings and design concepts to be attached.
Florida Residency
From the application, points have been applied for Florida residents. Applicants either received
5 or 0 points .

y LAKESIDE EXTERIOR ART PROJECT
PRELIMINARY CONCEPT PROPOSAL
SCULPTOR: WENDY M. ROSS
December 10, 2006
The lake offers an interesting context for a sculptural composition around the
theme of efflorescence, a botanical term for the unfolding or flowering of a plant.
My preliminary concept responds to the natural setting and physical
characteristics of the site as well as my recollection of the vibrant activity of bird
and plant life I observed during my recent stay in the area. This initial concept for
the lake environment is an expression of that energy.
The preliminary design calls for two large — scale sculptural elements. The first
sculpture is that of a "bud" swelling with potential. The sculpture, constructed of
highly polished marine grade metal, would stand approximately 12' tall above the
surface of the water. Its scale as well as the rhythmic linear pattern and kinetics
within its construction would provide visual interest from various site lines. The
second sculpture incorporates the existing fountain as the "pistil" of a flower,
surrounded by a series of "petals" designed to take advantage of air currents for
gentle movement as if the "bud" unfolded and was now caressed by the passing
breezes. The arrangement of these curved elements alludes to a spiraling vortex
— the energy force that underlies all growth and formation in nature. The design
provides visual interest during the day and, by incorporating solar powered
internal muted lighting, will offer a quiet and gentle glow at night with reflections
from the lake's surface.
The attached drawings illustrate: 1) a preliminary in situ scene at dusk, and
2) an overhead schematic showing the general location of sculptural elements.
Since this project may be partially funded by a grant that calls for an educational
component, I will provide a slidelillustrated talk to the public in conjunction with
the dedication of the work. In general, my work is informed by the natural and
physical sciences and over the years I have been invited to give talks at
museums and other venues around the country on how this connection manifests
in my work. Currently, the University of Arizona Museum of Art carries a pod
cast of one of my talks that can be viewed on its site under "Visiting Artists ".
In essence, my proposal for the artwork at the Lakeside site will use renewable
wind and solar energy sources as well incorporate within its construction the
same natural energy sources that power the botanical world.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
WENDY ROSS- ARTIST, SCULPTOR, DESIGNER - BACKGROUND IN PUBLIC ART:
Wendy Ross has over 35 years experience designing and executing private and publicly commissioned works of
art. She has worked successfully with architects, design professionals, as well as state, municipal and federal art
entities.
"In much of my public art, 1 link lines, arcs, and curves to animate a space, blending the mathematical
with the organic, and the industrial with the poetic. Most of my welded constructions are spatial and
airy, embracing rather than displacing the surrounding environment. In developing a concept/design for
a public setting, several elements come into play and are equally important. Context is a critical factor
in siting a work - the setting, in effect, is an integral part of the composition"
Ross' engineered open constructions belie their physical strength and have withstood the test of time, variable site
environments and climatic conditions with minimal maintenance. She has recently been incorporating LED lighting
as a sculptural element with unique applications.
RECENT OUTDOOR PUBLIC ART (completed or under construction)
In 2000, Ross won the national competition to design and execute a larger than life full -scale bronze likeness of
founding father George Mason as the central feature for the GEORGE MASON MEMORIAL located on the National Mall in
Washington, D.0 completed and dedicated in 2002. (The late J. Carter Brown, former director of NGA, described it in
Washington Post as "one of the best pieces of public sculpture he had reviewed in his 30 years as Chairman of the Fine
Arts Commission')
In 2001, Ross was awarded the commission to execute her winning design of a 100' long welded bronze and
stainless steel construction to be sited on the outdoor grand stairway of Boston's World Trade Center complex facing the
Boston Harbor. The installation — LEVIATHAN — was completed and dedicated in December 2002.
In 2002, as part of the redevelopment of Ballston Point, Ross was commissioned to design + execute a signature
work marking the central pedestrian /vehicular intersection at a major business district in Arlington, VA. Her 30'H stainless
steel work BUD /BLOSSOM was completed and dedicated in 2003. (Arlington County % for Public Art project.)
In 2003, Ross was selected to design and execute the sculptural elements paving, seating and lighting, for the
10,000 square foot plaza area at the entrance of Oregon University's new Science Center The composition of elements
entitled "CONVERGENCE" was completed and dedicated in 2004. (% public art project awarded by the Oregon Arts
Commission)
In 2004, Ross was awarded the commission to conceive and execute a design for the exterior facade of the corner
building at Station Square in Arlington, VA. Her design "AS ON A DARKLING PLAIN" (title from the poem by Mathew
Arnold) is a visual narrative using the lower building piers to tell a story. The design is an innovative surface application of
porcelain tile with embedded and relief metal work. Installation was completed in September 2006.
In 2005, Ross was awarded the commission by the City of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, to execute her unique
design entitled: "ASTRALIS" for the 4 towers located on the PGA Boulevard overpass Within each tower, she produced a
computer sequenced interplay of LED color spectrum lighting within the suspended kinetic + sculptural elements to create
an atmospheric gateway into the City. Dedication was November 13, 2006.

Artist Statement:
"My passion lies in creating communication with each piece of sculpture. I love
blending contemporary and organic shapes into art that will have direct communication
through contact."
Jim Vilona began his sculpting career after college in Breckenridge, Colorado in
1978. His works have been created using natural stone materials and have gravitated to
more fluid metals, to include Bronze and steel sculpting. "I love using a blend of
mediums as my passion for change dictates."
"When I bend metal or pour a casting it gives me great pleasure to see what the
fluid metal will do with my ideas." "I love working with rich woods and bronze, and
have created beautiful functional designs with both elements blended together."
Jim is currently using bronze to showcase natural mineral specimens and has
found the marriage of materials most exciting. "Using what I have learned in
metalsmithing together with my passion for natural minerals has given me inspiration to
see where I can take my work ".
Jim works with fine Galleries nationwide and his Bronze sculpture can be seen in
the Time Warner Center in NYC, Art quest in Marco Island, Florida, River walk in Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida, and Tyson's Galleria in McLean, Virginia.

December 10, 2006
Dear Sirs,
Enclosed is my application for the Lake at Lakeside Building in Palm Beach
Florida. My name is James Vilona; I am a Bronze sculptor who also owns my own
foundry. I produce sculpture for artists across America as well as my own works in
Bronze, wood and steel.
My philosophy regarding Public Artworks begins with the belief that people
should be "wowed" by art. I love the ability to create works that will have a lasting
memory, to be a part of a lasting reflection of a location's "essence ". My public art goal
is to create an artistic and aesthetic "gift" given from a public space onto its visitors that
blends, harmonizes and creates an artistic connection for all who visit.
Bronze sculpture has a way of creating a communication bridge and a dialogue
between artist and viewer. My theory seeks to reduce the "distance" between pedestrian
and artwork and create a balance between the natural environment and the sculptures. I
hold aesthetics to the highest regard and would create a site - specific sculpture or
collection of pieces that would engage pedestrian hands -on use of the sculptures; to sit
upon and reflect upon the environment within the lake area.
My prior collaborations in creating works have included creating mineral
sculptures with natural stone, site specific installations in California and Florida, and one
of kind pieces in Corporate Headquarters at such locations as Tennessee and Colorado.
My expertise also lies in my ability to cast the pieces I design myself, thus understanding
the process from beginning to end and to finally create works that meet design
engineering expectations and budgets. I work well in a team environment and would
very much enjoy the opportunity to create a piece of bronze work for your Lake area.
My prior work, submitted with this application, shows that I can incorporate the
harmony and characteristics of each location with my specific installations of bronze
sculpture. The public is invited to sit and engage in the beauty of each environment as
they also engage themselves in the metal forms and shapes and function of my sculptures.
Its benefit to the community lies in its interactive quality and appeal of any age towards
the sculptural energy and function.
Please consider my application and I look forward to hearing from you.
Respectfully,
,rvL-t
Jim Vilona

Notes: The city or county public art programs /officials were the commissioning
agencies for these works unless otherwise indicated. Their goals for each
project were to enhance a public space with artwork that would appeal to
their population and encourage appreciation of art in their community.
Most of the sculptures were site specific. The underlined years fall within
the six -year time span for at least two different public art projects. Four
projects are in that range.
Every project timeline was met from the signing of the contract to the
completion. It is my policy to supervise the creative steps from start to
installation of the sculpture and meet regularly with representatives of the
project to meet their goals. Names and phone numbers of project
managers were only listed for the United States and Canada.

Written Proposal for Lakeside Exterior Art Project
City of Palm Beach Gardens
Relationship between digital images and Artist's proposal
Both the images and the artwork proposed are three dimensional,
monumental, figurative, durable bronze media designed for exteriors. They are
for specific sites and suitable for public viewing from different vantage points.
On the digital image list these are situated outdoors: Seven Dancers,
Primavera, Airborn, Born Free, Caftan, Grace, Ascendence, Merle with Ribbon,
and Sea Nymphs. The proposals are designed for placement outdoors.
Proposed Work and the Proiects Goals and Guidelines
All of these stated goals and guidelines would be met by the proposed
artwork. They are original, site - specific designs and will also provide the public
with a sense of identification with the City of Palm Beach Gardens Lake area
facility. The artist's goal is to create a "signature" sculpture that would be a
welcome symbol for visitors to the grounds. It is my belief that buildings, terraces,
plazas, gardens, parks and artwork should invite a positive response in people.
Public works need to encourage a sense of identification between the users and
their environment. The proposed artworks have attempted to convey this
message by combining the monumental sculpture with a tranquil view of nature.
Fabricated materials will be bronze (jewel -toned patinas are available) or
stainless steel with a granite base. The sculpture and installation will meet or
exceed required standards for Florida's climatic and environmental conditions.
Life span of these materials is known to be extremely durable with minimal
maintenance; graffiti - resistant coatings can be applied to the sculpture. Many of
the artist's artworks have been placed outdoors in Florida and California, some
for many years.
The drawings of the proposed sculpture Adam and Eve or Child with Dove
represent the human family. Both would be three dimensional, viewed from
several perspectives and could be placed on a landscaped terrace area seen on
the latter drawing. It is suggested that the site be away from the main building on
another expanse of lawn to encourage wider use of the scenic lake /fountain view.
The base of Adam and Eve could be etched with native plantings or inscribed
with the name of an organization or individuals.

Written Proposal for Lakeside Exterior Art Project
City of Palm Beach Gardens
Background Information to support Artist's Qualification for Proiect
My experience encompasses many years of completing over thirty -two
public art commissions as well as numerous corporate projects. Public officials in
the United States, Canada, England, Australia, Japan and Singapore have
commissioned my monumental sculptures. Site - specific works were placed in
reflecting pools, garden areas, at the entrances of public facilities, in courtyards,
museums, residential areas and lobbies.
Every project was completed on time and within budget. During the
creation, production and installation processes, I consulted with government
officials, architects, landscape artists, engineers and project representatives.
Every step is carefully supervised, especially at the foundry, and clients are
consulted and kept informed of the progress with the artwork. Each project is
studied from all aspects to insure that it integrates with the site.
Since I live in proximity to the area, I can make frequent visits to the site
and meet with project representatives. Florida architects, landscape artists,
engineers and foundries are familiar to me and I have used their services.
Thank you for the opportunity to apply for the Lakeside Art Project.

PROPOSAL
To: City of Palm Beach Gardens Lakeside Exterior Art Project
Request for Proposals #2006 -008, dated November 13, 2006
DATE: December 8, 2006
I propose to build an 11 -foot sculpture as shown in the three attached Preliminary Concept
Drawings. The sculpture — depicting a lute decorated with seven popular South Florida
fruits —would be made of metal, set upon a concrete base, and powder -coat painted.
Fruit Lute, The Music of the Gardens, is meant to be a lyrical 'emblem of "the Gardens." The
stately lute evokes the sound of music, a welcome amenity in any community. The brightly
colored fruit remind observers of the sweet abundance of delicious fruits that flourish all around
us. Those represented include (from the center): Star Fruit (or Carambola), Oranges,
Strawberries, Monstera, Bananas, Litchis and Pineapples. Signage would identify the fruits.
I suggest placing the Fruit Lute near the corner of Military Trail and Burns Road on the
northwest corner of the property. About 10 yards in from the corner there is room between the
sidewalk and the lake for a sculpture of this size. From there, it will be visible to drivers on both
roads as well as from a number of other vantage points.
Since the site for the Lakeside Exterior Art Project is directly across the street from the Palm
Beach Gardens Greenmarket (serving the community from the parking lot of the fire station
throughout the fall and winter months), a natural community project would be to plant and tend
specimens of the various fruit trees depicted on the sculpture. The garden might eventually
include vegetable beds and serve as a demonstration to community members interested in
growing local produce for the Greenmarket.
I realize that my experience as a provider of art in public places is limited. However, perhaps my
extensive experience as a designer and fabricator of structural furnishings for the aviation and
medical industries will inspire the confidence necessary for consideration of this proposal.
Thank you very much for this opportunity.
Sincerely,
I r

Proposal
The Lakeside Exterior Art Project is an ideal opportunity to achieve the multiple
goals of the project by staging an on site - carving event. Unlike a commissioned sculpture
that suddenly shows up one day to be installed, during an on -site carving the public,
witnesses the transformation of raw blocks of stone into the sculptures that will
eventually grace their lakeside. By talking and interacting with the public during the
creative stages ideas are generated that catch the public's imagination. The event itself
will be talked about for years to come and the sculptures will remain for centuries,
testimonials to the shared experience of their making.
Stone, either marble or limestone, has been use to create many of the most durable
and beautiful monuments throughout history. It requires little maintenance and many
would argue that they get better looking with time. I keep in mind, while creating, to
always provide drainage for water and to give the appearance of delicacy while actually
being robust and well designed to withstand time and the elements.
I propose to bring in 3 — 5 blocks of varying sizes, but all of the same material, be
that marble or limestone. In a corner of the parking lot I would set up a temporary
carving studio with a defined space to maintain a safe distance between myself, and the
public. I would then begin working and carve all the blocks simultaneously. Over the
following months, out of each stone could come a different animal or groupings of
figures. Local stories or legends have often inspired the theme of a given sculpture. Then
when all are complete, yourselves and the public will start to have all sorts of ideas as to
where they want to put each piece. The consistency of material and hand in working it
would tie the various elements together giving the Lakeside Exterior Art Project a
homogeneous look
Each stage is an opportunity for public involvement. People start by coming once and
soon they come daily to watch the progress of the work. By then they are invested in the
pieces and want to see them properly installed.
Mid way through the event, as each block comes alive, final placement for each
sculpture is marked and structural foundations and permanent installation considerations
are undertaken. The public identifies with the finished works. They tell their friends and
families and perhaps show them a souvenir they picked up at the studio site. By
marketing the event, organizers can begin to recoup costs before the sculptures are even
finished. Corporate sponsorship can be elicited to underwrite marketing costs; tee shirts
can advertise the event; photos can document the progress. Radio and Television media
are drawn to the positive nature of the project making it a win, win situation with huge
potential for community outreach and publicity for the City's art in public places
program.

Gardens Station - timing
The development orders on this project state that the AIPP must be installed prior to
a CO being issued. The buildings are expected to be ready for CO in January to
February 2007. However, due to several factors, the benches will not be ready in
time and we are requesting an extension that would allow the CO to be issued prior
to the completion of the AIPP portion of this project. Mr. Partin must create these
benches at a brick yard and the one he is established with is in the state of Nebraska.
Due to Nebraska climate, the artist is able to carve only in the spring and fall months
of each year.
