PublicArtCommission | 2006-11-29 | 2 | 9. SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT: None 10. COMMISSIONER COMMUNICATION: It was agreed that if there are no agenda items, future meetings would be cancelled by Staff upon confirmation with the Chair of the Commission. However, it was agreed that the Commission will meet at least quarterly to maintain a presence and to take care of housekeeping or non-action agenda items such as creating "to do' lists and to discuss future items. A discussion followed regarding the development of a 'to do' list for the Commission. The following items were identified: 1. A map of the City of Alameda that identifies where current and future art projects are located. The map should also provide a brief description of the type of art project in order to assist the Commission in evaluating the diversity of the community when proposing new art projects in the future to reflect the City's diverse demographic. 2. The Commission should pursue an effort to eliminate or increase the cap for the art allocation of all eligible projects. It was discussed that the art allocation should be proportional to the valuation of the project instead of the existing $150,000 limit and projects that are phased over several years should be assessed accordingly during each phase. 3. The Commission should develop an assessment form or evaluation process in order to 1) analyze the art project upon completion to determine if it was consistent with what was originally approved and 2) to evaluate the Commission's process for future improvement. The assessment/evaluation should be interactive and include public opinion. 4. An announcement/identification of public art projects in a dedicated page on the City's website. Press releases should also be prepared for newly completed public art projects. Finally, the Commission agreed that a subcommittee will do the prioritization of the aforementioned items. The Commission then confirmed the Artist Directory was not useful due to the limited number of listed artists and that it was too cumbersome to consistently ensure it is current. The Commission agreed only to maintain an Artist Resource List that includes the East Bay Open Studio List, Alameda Art Association, Pro Arts, and the Frank Bette Center as these organizations can provide a more comprehensive and current directory of available artists. | PublicArtCommission/2006-11-29.pdf |
