OLD BUSINESS Public Art Projects, Administration and Conservation Reba gave a brief update on the conservation of the Surls piece, Six and Seven Flowers. Tai Pomara has inspected the piece and determined that he will not be able to disassemble it to be shipped and cleaned. Instead he will work onsite. City Staff will notify the surrounding business and the public of work being done on Six and Seven Flowers when it is time. 4:10 Paul Duke entered the meeting. Reba updated the Commission on the November timeline for the installation of the Dixie Friend Gay piece at the Oso Nature Center. By general consenses it was decided that due to an inability to get a response from Hunt Restoration regarding the bid submitted to clean the City's bronze City Staff will no longer pursue an agreement with them. 4:18 Dianna Sherman entered the meeting Reba reported that there is $22,100 designated for art maintenance this year. City Staff will continue to search for a conservation specialist. 2015 Arts Forum It was noted that both the Cultural District Forum and the Arts Forum were a success. The Arts Forum had a few more Star Volunteers this year and the attendance was about the same as the 2014 Forum. Carla recommended that the Commission not use the Auditorium for future Arts Forums as the stage area is not accessible to all. Art Publication Snyder and Associates provided an art booklet draft with two cover choices for the Commissioners review. By general consensus it was decided that the covers should feature one piece of art each but that they would like to see a few more options for the back cover. Dianna recommended having two more people review the copy in detail and recommended Joe Schenk and herself. City staff will provide a copy for their review and let Brad Snyder know about the cover choice and request the changes to the back cover. 1 Arts Grant Commissioners reviewed the 2014 and 2015 grantee's Completion Report results including audience attendance, audience information gathering methods, use of the Logo and funding tagline, submitting the Completion Report on time and listing their event on the CVB website.
