REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 5-A 2021-1461 Performing Arts Center Update Secretary Butler introduced founder Christopher Seiwald and performing artist Tara Pilbrow, who provided an overview of the Performing Arts Center project. The project's vision is to build a 500-seat performing arts theater that would serve as a creative hub at the center of the Alameda Point Waterfront District, and attract local and international artists and create a stronger community within Alameda and the greater Bay Area. A feasibility study has been completed, and the project has engaged local art organizations and garnered support from City Council, City staff, and local developers. The provisional site is adjacent to the Waterfront Park and Alameda Naval Museum, and located 3-5 minutes from the new ferry terminal. The Performing Arts Center board seeks support from the PAC, as they engage and gather funding for the project. Mr. Seiwald thanked the Commission for their time and answered clarifying questions. Commissioners expressed their appreciation for the project and look forward to hearing future updates. 5-B 2021-1462 Receive an Update on Recent and Upcoming Physical Public Art Projects in Alameda Staff member Gehrke provided an update on recent and upcoming physical public art projects. To date, 7 cultural arts grants, 5 physical arts grants, and 16 public art small grants have been awarded. Ms. Gehrke shared images of completed and soon-to-be completed projects. Ms. Gehrke informed the commission that, due to pandemic-related cost increases in materials, shipping, and construction, the Beken sculpture by artist Dewitt Godfrey needed either a significant reduction in sculpture size or a funding increase. Staff has identified $52,000 in funding from the Tideland's Fund to maintain original design size, which is pending City Council approval. Staff member Gehrke thanked the Commission for their time, and answered clarifying questions. Public mem… | PublicArtCommission/2021-11-10.pdf |
