PublicArtCommission | 2019-05-29 | 6 | Minutes of the Public Art Commission Regular Meeting Wednesday, May 29, 2019 Butler brought up that this would be a big demand on staff's time. By really structuring the process, it would help direct people applying. She recommended that there be slots per amount. Commissioner Gillitt wanted to know if there would be slots between physical and cultural arts. Butler said that's a decision that would be made here. Commissioner Gillitt then opened the question up the public, the muralist in attendance "What can you do with $2,000?" Dan Fontes stated you can do a bit if you are very smart with your money. It could be difficult, then he talked about all the things that factor into and artist budget. Commissioner Gillitt said it sounded like it wouldn't do very much and sounded more like a stepping stone. It was agreed that this is the point of a small grants program. To help with larger projects/budgets. Chairperson Hoy said it would be insulting to think the small grants program would fund a project in its entirety. Gehrke added that it would also be helpful for those small organizations to build a track record of approved grants. It could be the seed money to get a project started. Commissioner Farrell: Would the project be free to the public, either cultural or physical arts? Gehrke: Yes, based on the ordinance. Commissioner Farrell: We would just say "Small Grants Program for Public Art.' Gehrke: It has be accessible to the public, has to be outside or visible from a public area. Butler: Limited advertisement is okay with the smaller grants. As long as everyone can come, there can't be any restrictions. Can be combined with the Façade Grant Program. Commissioner Lewis (?) 22:12 asked if this could be used for neon signs around town. Butler said that would be a stretch and brought up that's what the Façade Grant Program if for. Commissioner Farrell asked if For Profit Entities could apply. Gehrke recommended that entities do not have to be nonprofit due to all the extra paperwork required. 6 | PublicArtCommission/2019-05-29.pdf |
