| Strategic Plan Goal(s) |
Thriving Residents – Collaborate with YoloArts and artists to integrate creative works into county facilities to enhance and enrich physical environments to promote healthy communities.
|
| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The Board's policy for Art in Public Places (Attachment A) requires that a percent of all new construction be set aside to fund an art project for the new facility. The $65,000 budgeted cost of this art project is 1% of the construction budget. The proposed art plan, provided in Attachment B, will serve as the basis for a Request for Proposals (RFP) to solicit art proposals for the project from artists nationwide. An Art Advisory Committee, established for this project, will review the proposals received and make a selection.
For this project the Art Advisory Committee is comprised of the following individuals:
- Supervisor Jim Provenza, District 4
- Supervisor Duane Chamberlain, District 5
- YoloArts Board of Director representative
- Sue Heitman, Director, New Seasons Community Development Corporation
- Omar Carrillo, Director of Public Affairs, Yocha Dehe Winton Nation
- Matthew Lowell, Jr., Tribal Council Treasurer, Yocha Dehe Winton Nation
- Diego Ochoa, Superintendent, Esparto Unified School District
- Trini Campbell, President, Western Yolo Recreation Center Association
Proposed Public Art Locations
Three publicly accessible areas of the project have been identified by the Art Advisory Committee for public art enhancements within the budget guidelines of this project. These are considered the most suitable for placement of artwork to aesthetically enhance the project for the patrons of the facility.
Aquatics Building
- Exterior Front Façade
- Entry Corridor
Pedestrian Bridge
- North Pedestrian Entrance to Tuli Mem Park
Public Art Criteria
In reviewing and selecting art proposals, the Art Advisory Committee will consider the thematic elements of the art proposal, such as its reflection of the community, and the overall quality of aesthetics of the artwork. The committee will also take into consideration the safety and security of the piece as well as any ongoing maintenance needs.
Process
Upon approval of this Art Plan a contract between the County and YoloArts will be prepared and brought before the Board of Supervisors for approval on December 11, 2018. The RFP will be released in November 2018 with the Art Advisory Committee recommendation presented to the Board of Supervisors in February 2019 for approval. YoloArts will then enter into a contract with the artist(s) chosen. It is anticipated that artwork installation will begin in April of 2019. |
