Frank will research the particulars and find out the sizes of the panels, site plan, lighting,elevations etc. These will then be attached to the RFP when it is posted on the website. B.Firestation and Parkdale There was nothing to report on the Firestation and the Parkdale projects as the artist proposals are due next week and we will be meeting on them then. An email will be sent out as to where and when the meetings will be held. VI. Staff Report-None VII. New Business A. Sculpture Idea Molly Merkle proposed an idea for use of the Permanent Art Trust Fund money. The idea consisted of using neon artists to create a piece to be placed on the Selina Auditorium wall. This wall faces the art museum, science museum, bridge and port. It is felt that a piece here would help define the area as a sculpture garden and also help tourists identify the area as an arts and culture area. Molly will research the idea further and bring her findings to the next meeting. . B. Permanent Art Trust Fund funding With the review of the subgrant process and the vote on the contingency fund pending,Permanent Art Trust Fund funding was discussed. Since contingency funds might no longer be rolled into the PAT after the vote at ACC and less maintenance money is left to roll into PAT,Visual Arts may need to ask for money off the top of the Subgrant money each year. This is not a new idea. This is the way it was done in the past. VIII. Adjourn The meeting was adjourned by the Chair at 4:35 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Lynda Jones Visual Arts Chair
